"It's a bit like trying to win the Champions League and to win the Champions League you go to Man United and I'm probably playing at Wigan at the moment. I'll probably have to make that step to do it."
Bradley Wiggins, interesting quote on many levels. Will he leave? Garmin is like Wigan?

methinks Bradley Wiggins has put more stock in his performance than he should

Funny that his jacket collar says Sky.
That’s the national team jacket, I suppose?

I'm not, but I don't want it to turn into a feeding frenzy ;)

maybe it's only because you don't know football....

ManU? That's so 2008 Bradley!
Barca is a better example, of course him going to sky and Bert coming to Garmin would be like Garmin trading fat Brazilian Ronaldo for Christiano Ronaldo…. OK tis a bit harsh.
Dammit Elk! I don't care if it's your mating season, you are disturbing my peaceful sleep! Just STFU!

I still don't get Barca
why the heck do they trade a top striker and loads of cash for that Swede?
oh well, as long as Pep is happy I guess….

Just to let you know, this whole Wigan story is bollocks, Just to set the record straight

+ million
I was becoming such a huge fan after his tdf performance, and honesty after each stage. Now, I think he’s annoying and boorish.

And again, now very funny
Bollocks in the sense it was said with the greatest affection, Wigan are a good side and certain people have taken it out of context!

Now, with something else
I could have used Ronaldo leaving ManU for Real, Rooney leaving Everton for ManU, Could have used a cow and a pig, horse and a pony???

whereas it's actually more Joleon Lescott to Man City
& just as unedifying

Fun to watch the interview
Follow Wiggins eyes during it. :-D
He may be taking a bit off the piss out of JV and Garmin with the Wigan -remark but it’s pretty sure to get him in a fair bit of trouble regardless. That was truly unprofessional.

Sigh
I like Wiggins, but I am so bored of all this. Just say where you’re going Brad, this is getting tiresome. I think just he likes playing with people and contradicting himself all the time, and most of all annoying journalists – but it was funny at first, but now it’s just so so boring.
Also comparing Garmin to Wigan was overly harsh – I know he lives in that part of the world so it might have just been the first ‘lesser’ team that came to mind but if there is even a gulf between Sky and Garmin it’s not going to be that big.
Still it does seem that he might actually be going to Sky after all, so does that mean Contador to Garmin? The thing is if that happens that definitely makes Garmin the ‘Man U’ to Sky’s ‘Wigan’. I think this comment will come back to haunt him and be used for another boring bloody faux rivalry, ugh.
