It's still the height of every four years for me, regardless of Tours de France and everything: it's all about the Olympics.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
It's an Olympic Games, at the end of the day, and to represent your country at the Olympics is about as good as it gets. Put a gold medal on top of that, and it doesn't ever get any better.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
In my eyes, I will never be up there with the Sir Steve Redgraves and the Sir Chris Hoys of this world. It's not something that drives me; I just enjoy going to the Olympic Games. Just to be mentioned in the same breath as those people is an honour for me. I don't ever think about those kind of things.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
People always push the boundaries, especially when the rewards are so high financially.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
You have got Team Sky leading the way on a professional front. They are quite open and have done everything possible on an anti-doping level.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I ended up in Hampstead for two weeks after the Tour, visiting a hospital every day before my granddad died. But he was more than my granddad. He was like my father.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I wanted to give an honest insight into a consuming Tour. It's turned out pretty interesting because there aren't many books out there documenting someone's failure.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
That's the great thing about the Tour. There's always next year and the chance to rectify everything.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I drank because I enjoyed it. I was happy sitting at the end of the bar on my own, reading the paper. I've always enjoyed my own company, and that stems from riding alone. I never trained with anyone - and I still don't. I've always been happy with my own thoughts, and that sums me up as an individual-pursuit rider.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
When I won gold in Athens, I said to my wife Cath, who was pregnant, 'This baby of ours will never want for anything.' There was real pride in that - but it just didn't happen.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
Part of me worries about upsetting people, because we all have perceptions about Olympic champions.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
Cycling is a part of my life; it always has been, and I will always continue to cycle. I won't be doing it on the world stage, doing it competitively, but I'll still be out on the weekend with the masses riding around Richmond Park in my Team Sky jersey or whatever. I just love it.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I wanted to put a really good kids' racing bike out there for kids under 14: 10-year-olds, eight-year-olds, right down to balance bikes for kids.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
My mum put herself in £50,000 of debt to service my sporting career. She did everything for me to pursue my dream.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
If you didn't go out every time it was raining, you wouldn't get anything done. So it's a case of making the right clothing choice in terms of waterproof, breathable, warm clothing.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
They do say now in cycling that there's no such thing as bad weather - it's bad clothing.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I know the freedom that cycling gives you in terms of being able to just jump on and go.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
A lot of the bikes are carbon wheels now, and you don't have as good a braking surface on a carbon wheel in the wet weather as you do on the old aluminium rims.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
When you see it from the outside, then you see just how great the Tour de France is.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I can train harder and put myself through more punishing efforts now than I used to do, having done the Tour de France, and come off the road now.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
Doing 40-minute track sessions is easy money compared to what we were doing on the Tour. What you used to think was hard now feels like a walk in the park.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
How does Ronnie O'Sullivan play snooker the way he does? You can't explain it.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I certainly don't hope to live forever, but on the other hand, I'm not reckless.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I came to the conclusion that I'm not going to give up cycling because some people are cheating.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
When you are suddenly standing in front of a bunch of journalists being asked what it's like being a British Olympic legend, it's a bit much to take in.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
It was what I've always wanted, more than anything: to be an Olympic hero rather than a Tour de France star, something I had from childhood.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
The more time I was spending with the British team, the more of a laugh I was having with them. It's clean, their way of cycling; it's more about what you can produce as an athlete.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
When you're in the heat of the moment, you need guys you can trust and who have been there for you.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
I still look back and think, 'How did I win the Tour, going day to day under that pressure?'
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
On the Tour, you live in a bubble - your team, the other riders, the press - so you don't know how it looks from outside.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
You speak to the press at the Tour every day, but most often in a negative sense. Ninety per cent of the questions you are asked in the post-race press conferences are challenging or provocative, so you have to justify yourself; you have to try to give the right answers about every topic across the board.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
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.
Quote by -Bradley Wiggins
When you get into the final week of the Tour de France, it becomes a different kind of race. As the distance and the fatigue really tell, that is when it becomes a proper test of everyone's fitness.
