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.

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.
