Another quality comeback from Wiggo: Piers Morgan @ Bradley Wiggins "I was very disappointed @bradwiggins didn't sing the anthem either. Show some respect to our monarch. Please! Bradley Wiggins @ Piers Morgan " @Piersmorgan I was disappointed when you didn't go to jail for insider dealing or phone hacking. But you know, each to their own!
It was interesting that he acknowledged alot of people, but not Chris Froome (though he missed out lots of others too..) which surprised me seeing as he shirley did loads of the shovel work for Wiggo...

Saw a tweet today that was interesting, say that TeamGB took the team award despite it specifically saying in the SPOTY rules that teamGB isn't eligible for it.
Team GB and Paralympics GB won the accolade of team of the year in a surprise move by the 12-person judging panel, which decided to overrule the BBC's terms stating the award would be "for the team in an individual sport or sporting discipline that has achieved the most notable performance". However, the BBC's guidelines did stipulate that the criteria could be amended "should there be unanimous agreement amongst panel members".
Also, its interesting that Froome has come out and said that hes been promised the leadership whereas both Wiggins and Brailsford have said let the legs do the talking. Bring on the Giro!

Bring on the Giro!It must be hard for Wiggins to choose not to defend his title, but unless Froome is out of shape, he's the Sky rider for that course next year. We'll see soon enough I guess. Though could they pick him in the team at all if he's not leader...? It's a little like Hinault/Lemond 1986.It could all be irrelevant if Contador is on form.
(admittedly after going round the Tour)
