Why do many hate...

[Dave Davenport]

Hate him? Of course not.
Has my like/respect for him taken a nose dive since the TUE & economy with the truth issues? Yep.

 

[AndyRM]

The TUE thing is a bit dodgy sounding, but as I understand it not illegal?

It's not a 'bit' dodgy - it's a lot dodgy IMO

That's fine, but if he's not actually broken any rules I don't think it's fair to call him a cheat. Claiming he'd "never" had any injections was a bit daft.

 

[John the Monkey]

I don't think about him much, to be honest, since he retired. I'm not too keen on his car adverts, mind.

Exactly. This is how you do a Skoda ad;

...or a Tour ad generally. Take note, Watchfinder.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Take note, Watchfinder.

I'm no fan of Wiggins but I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate him.
On the other hand, I do really hate the way the Watchfinder chap has turned his bike upside down to look at the wheels ! Makes me mad every time I see it.

 

[Drago]

Not everyone hates him. The manufacturers of asthma medicines love him!

 

[Levo-Lon]

I'd love to be half the cyclist he is , 5th even..

Top bloke

Me too, it's infuriating!

Forgive my noobish question, but why?

 

[Tin Pot]

How come there's so much hate for Bradley wiggins? Is it because he is a daft looking mod?

No idea. Great cyclist, great Britisher.

 

[BikeCurious]

Forgive my noobish question, but why?

Something about getting your white saddle and bar tape dirty maybe.

 

[screenman]

What a horrible word hate is.

Oh fair play, yeah that's dumb. I assumed there was a technical flaw to it!

 

[Tin Pot]

Suspected of drugs misuse, stressing the importance of the h word at one time, but actually hating? That's a strong word.

Heroine?
