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 was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.
