Team Sky Christmas Card 2015.JPGVideos: Stannard and Swift deliver Team Sky's pedal-powered Christmas message
Team Sky’s Ben Swift and Ian Stannard have helped deliver a pedal-powered Christmas message on behalf of the British WorldTour outfit – cycling as hard as they can to power more than 5,000 fairy lights attached to frames and other bits of kit that spell out a festive greeting.
The results are shown in the video below, and it’s clear there’s a lot of thought went into the smooth execution – though given who their headline sponsor is, you’d expect it to be a slick piece of work.
There’s also a separate video showing how they did it.
The team are on a training camp on Mallorca, where they also enjoyed their Christmas dinner, with the festivities shown in this video – including Sir Dave Brailsford dressed as Santa Claus, no doubt pondering which marginal gains could be brought to a team of reindeer pulling a sleigh.
Geraint Thomas starred in last year’s Christmas video from Team Sky, the versatile Welsh rider adding another skill to his already impressive repertoire.
The first three stages might be free to view, but after that, we can't watch any more. Seems like a kick in the teeth to UK viewers.

You can both be right - the scheme was introduced by Labour, but the fines levied under it increased dramatically in 2023 under the Tories.
i would hazard a suggestion that if the first car had waited patiently (rather than making a closeish pass whilst overtaking adjacent to a junction...
Agreed, there was no supension. There were various modifications of the plan, and a long time before the Beafort Rd and Crews Hole Rd one way plan...
My only use for a camera is for "evidence". I only check it (& check before and after every ride) to make sure it is working. While I have had...
I don't see anything in what they said to suggest that they even think about 3rd party reporting of dangerous driving as being part of the picture...
40k, 55k, 71k, 83k and 72k over 5 days, while riding between winerys (lunch and dinner) it seems. Let's just say this is not aimed at.... the GC...
