Bradley Wiggins

Rising from an inner city background, abandoned by his pro cyclist father as a toddler, Bradley Wiggins became a prodigious talent. World Junior Champion, World Champion and Olympic Champion were all titles that came his way at a startlingly young age, but what he really wanted was success on the road. Wiggos reinvention on the path to becoming Britains first Tour de France winner in over a hundred years of racing is one of sports most uplifting and inspiring stories.

In this captivating and insightful narrative, Wiggins old friend and colleague John Deering sets this remarkable story against the backdrop of Wiggins crushing Tour victory, his races along the thousands of kilometres of French tarmac, telling the tale of his brutal procession from Liege to Paris in counterpoint to his fascinating life. From a Kilburn council estate to the Champs Elysees via the Olympics, Paul Weller and the worlds most glorious sideburns, the legend of Bradley Wiggins is unravelled like never before.
