quite a few teams in various sports have gone down the music parody route for team-building. (including the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders.. but that's more bottom bracket material.)

    You see that's more like it.

    No less camp, but at least it's funny.

    Call me maybe is just sickly sweet awfulness.

    Hilarious stuff. Especially doing it while racing. Loved it. Great team. Very laidback team.

    Just seen this and came to share only to find the topic had already been made. This is hilarious (especially the racing and podium ones).

    That was awesome. Love the fact they were doing it in the race and on the podium. My new favourite team after that.

    He did say 'pop' song, being shit is a requirement, doesn't mean they can't be great at the same time.

    Agreed, the racing and podium shots are very funny. the song's sh*te, and there's some serious "talent" in that team, both male and female

    It can only be a matter of time before there's a Hitler Downfall parody of sportspeople doing Call Me Maybe. Meme eat meme.

    No wonder GreenEdge haven't won any decent races if they've been using all their energy making silly videos.

    Only joking, I like it. Shows a bit of the human side of the riders and shows them having the fun that a load of young guys travelling the world should be having.

    $hit song choice, but loving the fact they are doing it while racing/on the podium.

    David Brailsford is probably feverishly evaluating whether Sky need to have a pop video. Wiggo lip-synching "The Wind Beneath My Wings" to Froome, perhaps.

    curses - i cant get this damn song out of my head! I was pretty close to doing the 'phone hand' in a meeting earlier before telling myself "grow up man, your 38!"

    I thought Skys best option would be an ironic twist on Thats Entertainment from Wiggins favourites with various steely shots of 8 men on the front!

    I thought this was good fun. And showed Pro Cycling in a positive light.

    The UCI seem to have disagreed:

    You'd have thought the UCI could find more important things to worry about?

    mwahaha!

    Did you hear the one about Brailsford making a statement in front of a Limburg cheese factory in regards to Sean Yates' visit to motoman's bikeshop?

    EDIT:

    “We understand there were photos showing Sean Yates and one of our team vehicles in front of the bike shop owned by Philou Maire, as revealed on Facebook. Based upon this information, we are conducting an internal investigation to determine if our organisation has an exposure in this business,” stated Brailsford at a press conference outside a Limburg cheese factory.
