I’ve always shied away from computers, the Internet and all that. I’m a bit more traditional, really – pick up a newspaper, pick up a phone. – Bradley Wiggins
When you’re in the heat of the moment, you need guys you can trust and who have been there for you. – Bradley Wiggins
I may never get back to the track. The problem was that I was dominating my event, and the winning became slightly boring. I wanted new challenges, and I’ve got that on the road. – Bradley Wiggins
Growing up, the news agents round my way in Kilburn all had ‘Time Out’ on their shopfronts. The logo is a London icon. – Bradley Wiggins
If we went to the Tour, I’d have to think, what would our purpose be? Would it be to win the Tour de France? I’m not sure I want that pressure. – Bradley Wiggins
I feel a different person in a lot of ways. I feel much more professional and dedicated to my trade than I used to be. I appreciate this ability I’ve got – and don’t take it for granted any more. That fits every aspect of my life now. – Bradley Wiggins
You take for granted that you can walk. You do it every day, and then suddenly you can’t walk, and you have to remember, ‘How did I get out of this chair and start walking in the first place?’ – Bradley Wiggins
Everything I achieve affects my family as well, and suddenly, my kids’ dad became the most famous man in the country for a couple of weeks. – Bradley Wiggins
I can train harder and put myself through more punishing efforts now than I used to do, having done the Tour de France, and come off the road now. – Bradley Wiggins
On the Tour, you live in a bubble – your team, the other riders, the press – so you don’t know how it looks from outside. – Bradley Wiggins
Things change; your priorities change in life. So I’d never think of riding 100 miles on Christmas Day now, because I’ve got two kids, and it’s selfish. – Bradley Wiggins
I just felt that if the team is doing seven hours, I’d want to do eight. I’d always need to do more. I knew that would make me better than everybody else. – Bradley Wiggins
Pace judgement is everything in the hour record. If you can ride 16.1 or 16.2-second laps constantly for 221 laps, and not go 15.9s or 16.4s, it’s keeping it on the line every lap, lap after lap. – Bradley Wiggins
