Chris Boardman is the 2017 winner of the Cross Sports Cycling Book
of the Year for his autobiography Triumphs and Turbulence. 'The
true inspiration was that Olympic gold won by Chris Boardman in
Barcelona... I was so in awe of Chris Boardman' Sir Bradley Wiggins
You may know him as the much-loved co-presenter of ITV's Tour de
France coverage or enjoyed his BBC Olympic coverage, but beyond the
easy charm Chris Boardman is one of our greatest, most inspiring
cyclists. Boardman's lone achievements in the 80s and 90s - Olympic
track gold, the world hour record, repeatedly claiming the yellow
jersey in the Tour de France - were the spark that started the
modern era for British cycling. His endeavours both on and off the
bike have made him the founding father of current golden generation
- without him there would simply be no Hoy, Wiggins or Cavendish.
It is a story full of intrigue: from Olympic success, to the famous
duels with Graeme Obree and the insanity of the Tour de France.
Chris became a legend for his combination of physical ability and
technical preparation, almost single-handedly taking British
cycling from wool shirts and cloth caps into the era of marginal
gains. Indeed, after his career on the bike ended, a new chapter
began as the backroom genius behind GB cycling. As head of the
R&D team known as The Secret Squirrel Club, Chris has been
responsible for the technical innovations that made the difference
in 2012 and developed Boardman Bikes, which has become the
country's bestselling premium bike range.
