Excellent 
Too bad that so many cyclist (both professional and just normal people on bikes) get hit by cars, though. And it pisses me off that many of those drivers in the cars are drunk  stop ruining other people's lives with your fucking habit of drinking |

I'd rather have a team where the new generation of lead riders and managers are strong advocates of a clean and doping-free sport as part of the World Tour instead of a team that consists of a bunch of old washed-up riders that are proven to have been doping with links to both Fuentes and Ferrari.
Also, the fact that Argos is Dutch helps too  |

No surprises that it was a 'white van man' that hit him

He's going for number 1?

That was probably because that guys hand in the picture may have possibly touched his ribs? |

Through the glass? Nah, I think it was probably because Wiggins is a dick.

Perhaps that's his dislocated finger

I just saw the video of it, and no, no one is touching his ribs or doing anything to annoy him (other than taking pictures which he seems to dislike ). |

To be honest I don't think I would be in the mood for English tabloids either if I had just been run down by a car...

You should still be able to control yourself from doing what Wiggins does. At least if you ask me.

I don't see why it is so bad. He's telling some photographers (who are world-famous for being aggressive pricks) to f**k off.
It's not like he's going Evans and physically attacking people or anything...

Thats why I run ... On a Track...
And its for my personal health reasons... If I cycle in Dublin my Blood Pressure sky rockets in seconds... Someday I will die from high Blood Pressure and I blame cycling in Dublin!

Jesus dude way to exaggerate. Evans asked the guy 3 times not to touch his injured arm. The guy kept pushing to try to get a rise out of Evans. So, Evans snapped and shouted.
He didn't physically attack anyone. Quite the opposite, he was physically attacked.

What the hell is wrong with flipping a finger? It's not like that's the end of the world, damn. The are worse things in life, I don't know, starvation of millions, atomic disasters, wars, to name a few. But yeah, Wiggins flipping a finger... Okay... Bad guy, should be hanged... Okay |

It's just not exactly the smartest thing to do in front of the media. At least that's what I think.

Yeah, I know. But these guys are human and the media's over them like fucking flies constantly. I don't know, it would bum me out
I understand him and it's a bit silly to judge him on a flipped finger. This is the 21th century, you can say fuck and crap and no ones gives a rat's ass, at least that's what should be. No religion, only love and death

I can hate many things at once with a huge range. Wiggins just happens to be one of them. The point is that he is at a point where he is something of a role model for young cyclists and he has to start acting like it. Otherwise the next generation will see this is acceptable behaviour towards the cycling media. Remember that as dickish as the media can be they are literally the only way we have of knowing what is going on, securing photos and interviews, etc. He won the Tour and now he has to accept all the media that goes with that.
