Wiggins knocked off bike, broken ribs suspected.

[AussieEdge]

Exactly, an adult man who behaves like a spoiled kid.

Oh please..

It's the least the media (paparazzi more like it) deserve, both here in Oz & Britain get away with writing whatever they like for no regard in general...parasites the lot of them!!!!

Glad he's OK, could of been more serious

I know this is about Wiggins but any news on Sutton - didnt like what I read TBH

Problem is - when you flip the bird to a journalist, it looks more like you are doing it towards his audience... Anyway, this just goes along the lines of what he's shown in the past, no big surprise.

That's not wiggins today, he was picked up in daylight in a red car

This is where you hope the audience show a bit of intelligence....

Then again they do read the papers in the first place

I don't want Wiggins, or anyone, pandering to an audience who want cameras pointed into cars. And "journalist" is a stretch.

Brad was knocked of his bike around 6.30 uk time. Hope he makes a swift recovery. WTF he was doing out training in the dark gawd only knows..one of the obvious advantages of being a full timer is never having to train in the dark!..utter madness!.

Who will now light up the racing at the Giro?

(good to hear is a not too hurt)

 

[coinneach]

not me, my friend

I'm not surprised by that level of abuse from car drivers: its normal, for goodness sake. I shouted at one today who cut me up when he turn across traffic lights: what did he do? put the finger up at me. Was I bothered? No, it just felt normal.
What I do NOT like is Wiggins getting abuse from fellow cyclists in this instance: totally pathetic, some posters should be ashamed of themselves

 

[enrecul]

As a euro living in Sydney, I have to say Aussie drivers suck the most when it comes to respect and awareness of cyclists

Brad is back:


‏@TelegraphSport
Pic: Bradley Wiggins says hello (sort of) to assembled snappers as he is released from hospital following accident

At a time when people are wishing him well and hoping he recovers he gives us one more reason to dislike him, real classy move there Wiggo .

Oh please..

Sure media can be annoying and sometimes they deserve to be told to back off. But when your in the public eye like Wiggins is these kind of things just make you look bad and make people dislike you. Instead of resorting to childish things like flipping them off he should politely tell them to give him some space.

Who will now light up the racing at the Giro?

Nibali, Purito, Pozzovivo, Kreuziger, Hesjedal, Scarponi, Basso, Quintana (if he competes), Sanchez (if he competes).

The last thing Wiggins does is light up a race.

I agree absolutely classless. Just lost some respect for him.

Dude, that is the dream but you shoud be prepared to be disappointed if you are a fan, i know i am..he almost made me go crazy at this year Giro.

Like me at vuelta

Do not worry he will light up the race for 7th for sure

Dull on the bike, but makes the press side considerable more interesting.

 

[MartinGT]

What a complete t!t Wiggins is. There was no need for him to give the one fingered salute at all.

I bet all these fan boys who are saying "Way to go Brad", "LOLZ Nice one Brad" etc are the same fools asking for Ashley Cole's head on plate when he swore on Twitter.

He is supposed to be someone to look upto, but really he is a complete d!ck.

 

[hatcher]

Clearly it's fine to photograph him in the privacy of his car as he leaves hospital, but I don't know where to draw the line.

The one I got through the window of him in his hospital bed turned out nice.
Also stuck the camera through the window of his house, and got one of his kids welcoming him home; and then the long lens got him in the shower.

And he gives me the finger? What a scumbag.

How would you feel, returning from the hospital, high on painkillers, with an army of journalists around your car.

If you wished him well before, and now that he's shown the finger to some journalists you don't, that's not a very enduring fandom

 

[ultimobici]

Having watched the scrum on the news last night I can understand his gesture. They just wouldn't give him any peace.

Wiggins is like the Liam Gallagher of cycling.

Wiggins collision driver's shock
"The van driver who knocked Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins off his bike on Wednesday has told The Sun that she was "devastated" when she realised it was the world's most famous cyclist. He is recuperating at home."

http://www.itv.com/news/story/2012-11-07/bradley-wiggins-injured-after-colliding-with-a-van/

I think the report meant "Britain's most famous cyclist."

I think it shows a great deal of immaturity. He is the current tour champion and a public figure. He is a story. Journalists are going to cover it. If the journalists got too close then that is the fault of the hospital not the reporters.

It takes very little effort not to raise the finger. Now the story is not that he has broken ribs but that he's a jerk.

You have got to be kidding.

Journalists do not point cameras into people's cars. Scumbag paparazzi hoping to make money from someone else's misery point cameras into people's cars.

Of course, but this is a guy who clearly isn't used to being in the public eye, nor does he like it. The problem will solve itself, if he goes on like this

I would agree with this tbh.

The Sky PR joke continues tbh.
