"fear of shame"? Pro-cycling then is not the world for you.
Given the news coming out of Australia, today of all days you really should not be mocking people's mental health problems. Show some humanity.

And the Clinic value of this is ... what?


C'mon, F!

Clinic's renown for making a full meal on scrunchions alone. :)
That ain't scrunchions Alpe, that's tip-diving, hours and hours of video without the promise of even a dead pigeon to chew on.

"In a rambling, two-hour show punctuated by regular sips from a bottle of wine at his side, Wiggins took aim at fellow riders, journalists, celebrities and even his former Team Sky boss Dave Brailsford."
Was it a bottle of wine or a wine bottle? And didn't he use a glass or was he really swigging from the bottle?

Bit sad reading that tbh. Sounds a troubled lad. The thing with Cav is weird too. Considering the high five bum slapping shite he puts on insta of them.

Cyclings version of Gazza

Any bookie offering odds on him not doing all the dates? Or will he say something stupid and Sky's lawyers stop the circus first. Tragic.

I went to the Kentish Town forum one last night. The wine was mostly a prop. He might have had 3/4 of a glass with Matt. A few juicy bits in the discussions, but pretty tame. Cav discussion was mostly just about how Cav isn't a gifted athlete, he just works bl**dy hard at it and how his favourite moment on the bike in his career was leading him out in rainbows knowing he's won Tour and knowing Cav would win the sprint. The show was mostly Matt reflecting his career back at him and using his jersey collection as a talking point/comparison.
Weirdest thing was probably the disregard he had for his medals although probably just Wiggins twisted self and they mean all the world to him in reality.
Highlight was probably the jerseys. Coppi's 1949 jersey and Mosers Hour Record skinsuit.

Probably been told to calm it down after the review.

Will soon be back up to full speed.

That Matt Barbet is a shocking commentator and presenter so a shudder to think the sycophantic he must have been like on this!

It ran along the same script as the cyclist review above. These things are always exaggerated in media, it was exactly what you expected it to be, just talking about what inspired him to be a cyclist basically. Pretty simple.
