    Sky says there are negotiations to buy out Wiggo from his Garmin contract.

    is it just me that finds this all a bit underwhelming following the absurd amount of hype Brailsford and co have generated with their nudge-nudge-wink-wink interviews? If you have to wait, why not wait till you can release the whole list and do a team presentation... dribs and drabs is just poor PR

    But forumheads were already talking about it in the absence of any information... I hardly think the announcement that the team will contain 6 decent brits is going to set the non-cycling media alight with anticipation

    I don't think them announcing anyone apart from Lance Armstrong is going to set the non-cycling media alight...

    Is Bradleee telling us to ignore Sky news?

    I think the Twitpic of his Garmin hoodie told us everything we need to know.

    As well as the Garmin roolz type stuff he posts.

    Mind you, i saw one of the Murdoch rags was saying yesterday Cav had been linked with Sky. So they just make it up as they go.

    Hopefully he used Sky as away to get a 30% salary increase and another year added onto his contract.

    Remind me never to enter into a negotiation with Kleber.

    A bit off topic but still relating to B Wiggins's Twitter, what did cycling weekly say about his hoody in the first place??

    That he was just wearing a black top, not Garmin gear.
