Wiggins hints at Team Sky switch

http://tinyurl.com/WigginsWigan

Bradley Wiggins has hinted he may leave Garmin-Slipstream to join the
new British-based squad Team Sky.

Britain's three-time Olympic track champion was a surprise fourth in
the 2009 Tour de France and says he must move if he is to better that
next year.

Wiggins, 28, told BBC Sport: "The Tour de France changed everything.

"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."

Yes I was going to post about that, er...last I checked "Team Sky"
don't seem to have what it takes to support a TDF contender ? Looks
like another "Leblanc moving to Le Groupement" disaster to me, at
least on a sporting level.

You mean all those Scandy and Aussie creampuffs Sky just hired on?
Totally useless, dunno what they were thinking...

It does seem a bit disloyal doesn't it? His statement has had some
effect as Wigan beat Chelski 3-1 at the weekend :-)

Wigan must have borrowed some steroids from the local rugby club.

Not what I am thinking. `Loyalty' is one of those words
used by middle management; another one being `morale'. I
am thinking that Wiggins considers Garmin, for all its
real success, to be a Micky Mouse outfit.

What does any of this have to do with a professional bicycle racer? Do you
suppose one should take less money for his services for your weird idea of
"loyalty"?

Considerations should be the financial stability of the team, the ability of
a team to be invited to the important races, the contract terms and the
salary. Only when all of these terms are equal or nearly equal would any
other terms be considered.

Sorry. I cannot derive semantic content from this
sentence, because of the prepositions and blind end pronouns.

Absolutely dead on correct.
