Has the great Wiggo got a beef with GreenEdge or is he really asking us to believe he has difficulty remembering the name of this pro-cycling team.?

(eurosport interview)

Admittedly, it's a bit of a shit name and yes, they took some Sky boys - but Green Ummm.... really!

Is there 'history' ?

Made me chuckle!!

    I did wonder, and for a moment thought our Wiggo was going to come out with an expletive! He's such an 'I refuse to be a famous person' type famous person!

    As we've seen in the past (such as the Romandie presser), Bradley doesn't really do the straight and bland routine with the media. It's all a little bit left field. It's best not to take much of what he says at face value.

    He Tweeted as much earlier, I'm glad he has recognised the need to play the game a bit smarter. I'd hate to see the media turn against him.

    What's cycling for "did nt you get an OBE for 16 mate?"

    Seemed to me he was gonna say GreenEDGE, remembered they were now called something else but couldn't remember the name, hence the stumbling to buy time to think (and still not remember) ...

    For example it took me 5 secs to remeber Skil are now called Argos ... and I'm not on live telly ...

    We should stop pretending Wiggins is some kind of comedic intellectual playing with the world's press ... Just remember, if you have a bored audience even Chris Tarrant and Noel Edmonds can be entertaining ...
