Oh Wiggins, oh Bradley
I love you quite madley
You look tres sexee
In the yellow jersey
Vous etes tres bon
Avant le peloton
With your mates Cav and Froome
To Paris you'll zoom
Do your side burns help you steer?
When you win I will shed a tear.

Can anyone answer my questions?

I don't think there is a big screen but we might go to the hyde park one later.

and give Wiggins a Knighthood!

I think that Bradley would appreciate its irrelevancy Grin

HalfMumHalfBiscuit · 31/07/2012 20:58

I think pedal to the medals should go on a separate one unless someone can come up with something.

Sorry halfmum I got distracted Blush. Here's what Hampton Court are doing:

I'm going to look round the palace and will probably try to get a spot on the route a couple of hours before the men are due out. Hampton Court have a cyclemania event afterwards too.

I love that he is not so media savvy as most...so funny and honest :)
GoCavWiggoMillarFroomeetal · 31/07/2012 21:02

Ok, I am going to start drawing in 5 mins. Final version please Grin !

Minimammoth · 31/07/2012 21:02

I like pedal to the medals. Good one Half.
What to wear. Is it going to be dry? Hot? Sunny? Windy?
Am getting a bit more excited now I see how they do the trails. I was thinking it would be all over in about an hour. Do they just get one go?

GoCavWiggoMillarFroomeetal · 31/07/2012 21:11

PS Queenie you know what would be good?
If you gave this man a damn Knighthood!

evilgiraffe · 31/07/2012 21:12

Oh gorgeous GB cycling team,
with your muscles long and lean,

From maillot jaune to Box Hill,
Bradley's given us quite a thrill.

So come on Wiggo, go on Froome
All the way to the podium: zoom!

evilgiraffe · 31/07/2012 21:13

YES, GoCav, perfect last stanza!

You are going to put a photo of the finished banner up on your profile later, right? We'll have to look for you on the telly!

GoCavWiggoMillarFroomeetal · 31/07/2012 21:13

Oh gorgeous GB cycling team,
with your muscles long and lean,

From maillot jaune to Box Hill,
Bradley's given us quite a thrill.

So come on Wiggo, go on Froome,
Give our medals table a boon!

If you gave this man a damn Knighthood!
