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.

I love eating at my dad's pub, the Queens Arms in Kilburn. It does a traditional Albanian spinach pie.

I'm so hands-on, from the color of my tour bus to what I eat for dinner at 5 or the way the lights are hung.
