[quote="Wiggins"]"It's like trying to win the Champions League - you need to be at Manchester United, but I'm playing at Wigan at the moment so I have to make that step up."
Dick, does he think he had last year's success on his own and Garmin had nothing to do with it? I don't know what Wiggins is like in person but his public face often seems to be that of a twat to me, at SPOTY last year he stood their trying to be Mr. Cool and just looked like a petulant schoolboy.
I'd say Sky are more like Man City than United at the moment, they've turned up with a big cheque book and waved it about. If they do as well as Garmin have in their first two years they'll have done well.
I hope it is a success and they do well but they haven't necessarily gone about things in a way to endear themselves to others in the pro peleton.
