He meant nobody in the UK…..
I’m confused…when Wiggo says, “Long term, I’m really keen on having a
professional women’s racing team, ‘cuz I don’t think no one’s ever done
that yet”…is he not aware of all the women’s pro teams?
nice sideburns. (everyone else took all the good comments)
What with there being stage races for half the year, I can’t understand why
they show all those ball and puck based sports in the first place. Sure,
they’re simple enough for children to appreciate, but cycling is much
better suited to the adult mind. Much more satisfying.
have you not seen Cipo’s team and his training sessions with them
Agree, would be nice if the cashed up Sky decided to catch up to
Orica-GreenEDGE and Rabobank in that respect. Put your money where your
mouth is Wiggo.

I think he means that none of the elite male riders have invested in a
women’s team…they haven’t supported it and that is what he would like to
do…
ha ha ha ha, not to worry 🙂 i liked your comment 🙂
I’m going to give Wiggins the benefit of the doubt and say that comment is
out of context in this video from not hearing the question or from cutting
to him mid-sentence.
The women’s teams have the same set of rules as the UCI Continental teams,
and they are semi-pros at best. Some riders can make a living as a cyclist,
but a lot of them need ordinary jobs.
