Why is Sky going to be better than Garmin?

Wiggins making a mistake?
- Thread starter DRB
- Start date
He probably didn't feel comfortable around people with good teeth.
Didn't he also tell Lance he was coming for him??? 
He may be on Boonen's enhancement program.

Boooo from me anyway.
Do not want.
Maybe CVV can have a season without a gnarly crash...

What's that? Blow and young girls?
Damn, for that kind of loot I would jump ship too....plus, he'll be the uncontested team leader. How much of a team he leads will remain to be seen.
That big of a raise bound to be a driving force. Probably the struggle for Garmin team fashion plate with Vaughters was a factor as well.
Now to the next Wiggins question. Is he going to be the next big thing or the next big bust? I do believe that the team change provides somewhat of a built in excuse if its bustville.

The way the deal went through is very disrespectful, and Brad clearly went after the money, which is sad, David Millar, a British rider, said. Sky is a corporate behemoth that is investing a massive amount in cycling, and they had to go and poach Brad from us. I know Brad better than anyone on the team. Hell quickly forget that this time last year, that Jonathan believed in him 10 times more than anyone.

Well, Millar isn't exactly known for being the most reasonable when upset, but he probably has a reason to be pissed. Besides the whole loyalty issue, what is the point of having a contract if you just need to threaten to sue to get out of it?

I hadn't noticed but Wiggins spent 3 2 year stints with French teams and then 1 year at Columbia and then 1 year at Garmin. Seems he doesn't like to be anywhere that long.
