    I would hardly call it wonderful! However this is called Road General, and as this is a general post i suggest you wind ya neck in when it comes to sarcastic comments.

    Didn't find what was funny about the really cheesy Greenedge video?

    What is funny is that Saxo Bank-Tinkoff, Movistar and Katusha did not have no make a youtube video to get noticed. Their actions speak louder than pop lyrics.

    But after seeing the dolphins cheerleaders, I now think I must be living in the wrong place and want to move to Miami.

    Blimey, you are miserable!

    It's a bit of light hearted fun! That's all.
    Is it directed at cav?

    Imlac had a moan up on ITV4 about them being unprofessional. Thought that opinion was a bit strong. Looks like good team building to me.

    My fav part, is two of them doing phone sign, while in the peloton. Very cool.

    Better than them just riding around being miserable buggers isn't it? Like when Sky were laughing at Jeremy Hunt when he fell yesterday.
    The only disability in life is a poor attitude.

    I find it alright not hilarious. And done lots before.

    The songs annoyingly catchy.

    Now when I think Saxobank or Movistar I think = Winner !
    And when I think Greenedge I think = Entertaing clowns.

    I don't think there is a clown of the mountains jersey, and it was the most mountainous vuelta ever.

    Jeeeez lighten up!!! Their a new team, and pretty genius if you ask me! They are now well known, ok for making a funny youtube video, but it has gotten their name out there. I hardly knew anything about the team, saw this and went on their site for a bit of research. Im sure i wasnt the only one...

    I suppose you're right. The videos a bit of a loser way to get attention though, fameous for yet another parody and not famous for been a top team.

    You will find new companies / teams will do something similar to get their name out there these days. At the end of the day its all publicity either good or bad...people know their name - still think the miami dolphin cheerleader one was the best though
