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.

I said at the start of the race that the Tour is about being good for 21 days, being consistent every day, not having super days and bad days.

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

I see myself as a climber and an activist.

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.
