Sir Bradley Wiggins
As Britain's most decorated Olympian and the first British cyclist to win the Tour De France, Sir Bradley Wiggins is considered to be an authority on British Cycling. He is the only rider to have combined winning World and Olympic championships on both the track and the road and has worn the leader’s jersey in each of the three Grand Tours of cycling and held the hour record. Bradley originally made a name for himself on the track and accumulated six world titles and three Olympic gold medals before focusing completely on the road. After securing a podium place at the 2009 Tour de France he became the first British cyclist to win the event in 2012. His following Olympic win at the 2012 London Olympics solidified Bradley's position as a household name and his charisma in front of the cameras and press combined with his impressive sports accolades won him the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
His cycling career continued to boom with a subsequent win at the 2013 Tour of Britain and the 2014 World Time Trial Championships. In 2016, Wiggins won his 5th gold medal at the Rio Olympics in the team pursuit and his eighth Olympic medal overall, making him Britain's most decorated Olympian ever.
Since his 2016 retirement, Bradley has pursued his other passions and made numerous TV and radio appearances including a BBC Radio 6 Music special in which he discussed his love of music and mod culture, which was further explored in the Sky Arts Documentary Bradley Wiggins on Mods.
Still considered to be one of the leading experts on cycling, he has also provided content to Eurosport with his podcast 'The Bradley Wiggins Show with Adam Green and special guests, contributed to the Eurosport Grand Tour coverage as an analyst and followed the Tour De France Peloton on the back of a motorbike to provide in the moment insights of all the excitement.
In addition to his TV and radio presenting roles, Sir Bradley Wiggins has also written a number of books about his cycling career and is currently an ambassador for the charity MIND.
