Interesting! Wonder what that'll do for Wiggo's final track soirée?

Can't see it being true but it would be funny to watch Wiggo proving a point next year.

I think it might just be a spoof account 😉

Sorry, actually, Froomey just called me and stop me to sign Wiggo, he and his wife against his carrier development in cycling :-(. #messSKY

I thought Wiggo was off to Greenedge?

The best thing about the ?@olegtinkov account is that it's really him.
Although some of the things he said about women's cycling last year make you wish it really was fake.

This was rumoured weeks ago, I'll believe it when I see Wiggo say it

Interesting. Pretty sure Wiggins said he was probably going to stay at Sky, but Tinkov was making open offers to him on Twitter ages ago. No one really believed him about Sagan either...

Tinkoff have been prolific in his signings with Sagan amongst other big names, one hell of a team to contend with.
