As Britain's most decorated Olympian and the first British cyclist to win the Tour De France, Sir Bradley Wiggins is widely regarded as an expert in British Cycling. He is the only rider to have achieved victories in 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 as well as holding the hour record. Bradley initially gained fame on the track, securing six world titles and three Olympic gold medals before transitioning fully to road cycling. After securing a podium spot at the 2009 Tour de France, he made history as the first British cyclist to win the event in 2012. His triumph at the 2012 London Olympics cemented Bradley's status as a household name, and his charm in front of the cameras and media, coupled with his notable sports achievements, earned him the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
His cycling career continued to thrive with subsequent victories at the 2013 Tour of Britain and the 2014 World Time Trial Championships. In 2016, Wiggins clinched his 5th gold medal at the Rio Olympics in the team pursuit and his eighth Olympic medal overall, establishing himself as Britain's most decorated Olympian ever.
Since his retirement in 2016, Bradley has explored his other interests and made numerous TV and radio appearances, including a BBC Radio 6 Music special where he discussed his love of music and mod culture, further explored in the Sky Arts Documentary Bradley Wiggins on Mods.
Still recognized as one of the foremost experts on cycling, he has also created content for Eurosport with his podcast 'The Bradley Wiggins Show with Adam Green and special guests,' and contributed to the Eurosport Grand Tour coverage as an analyst, providing real-time insights by following the Tour De France Peloton on the back of a motorbike.
In addition to his TV and radio presenting roles, Sir Bradley Wiggins has authored several books about his cycling career and is currently an ambassador for the charity MIND.
