With so much money on the line, Brailsford is sweating especially after this recent doping scandal plus last year's calamitous implosion.
You might be thinking of Vaughters retelling the story of when Dan Martin won LBL, he called the CEO of Garmin and told him the team had won a Monument, to which said CEO asked if it was a qualifier for the TdF.
