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.

I went to see Ocean Colour Scene at Shepherds Bush and and felt part of something. They paved the way for me.

They do say now in cycling that there's no such thing as bad weather - it's bad clothing.

Although I write to entertain, and try to keep my work free of didacticism, I do have a rather passionate belief in our need to be connected to - and to learn from - history.

I see myself as a climber and an activist.

It is so important that our federation stands by our athletes.
