Two stories recently.
1. He said he hadn't congratulated Chris Hume because he doesn't have his number.
2. He nearly quit the tdf as he felt he had been stabbed in the back

Firstly that's a crap excuse. Brad should "man up" and do the right thing. Chris was a teammate who deserves to be congratulated by all cyclists. Secondly, "quit the tdf". For gods sake, grow some *****.

Not the actions of a knight of the realm.

Chris Froome

Agree he was a bit of a tit where Chris is concerned as he helped him a lot on last years tour.

I'm was never a massive fan, I don't like his insouciance. And his wife has said some stupid things.

Knighthoods should be given after much consideration, and a certain passing of time.

Chris Hume.???

I'm not even sure his wife has his number

They are both winners & team leaders and if you knew anything about cycling which im guessing you dont. You would realise teams have 1 leader and the rest are there in support, Team Skys problem is the fact they are both good. Everyone thinks this started at TDF 2012 well it actualy started at the Tour of Spain as even then Froome was not happy about his supporting role. He was knighted so quickly as its never been done before, the same will probably happen now that the Scottish tennis player has won wimbeldon

Bit like a domestique, but what would I know as you've guessed we all know nothing about cycling

theboy

Ha ha so youve joined the cycling bandwagon, we do well at a sport and all of a sudden evryone is a expert

nik52wrx

If you knew me, which you don't, you would have known I've been cycling and following cycling for years. I have three bikes, two road, one mountain and a turbo trainer in the garage so no I'm not just jumping on the band wagon

We did well at Wimbledon but I haven't taken up tennis

SIR Bradley Wiggins , Yes an amazing bike rider with amazing fitness but his personality stinks and stinks even more after getting that knighthood.
I mean there are sergeons saving childrens lives with complicated brain surgery every day, do they get a knighthood ?
Halfords gave wiggins that knighthood for the amount of bikes their going to sell with free sideburns

Good for her

theboy

Yes he is arrogant but arnt most sports people? Maybe thats what they need to be so good. I recently rode with a pro boxer and he hated being beat on the bike to the point he was a **** at times, its that desire that makes them pro

He's certainly not whiter than white

theboy

Your not wrong there allegedly of course

nik52wrx

If you are implying what I think you're implying and it was to be proven the case it would be the end of Team Sky as their whole ethos is based around being whiter than white.

I actually meant his tax dealings...... but sounds like there may be more than just that (all allegedly of course)

hodgy0_2

I heard (from a reliable medical source) they are just using techniques that have not been banned yet

theboy

I meant neither

Only time will tell then......

When Sir Alex lost to Man City on the last day of the season, the first thing he did was congratulate Man City.
That's how to behave.
