Wednesday 1 August 2012 will live forever in the memory of all
those who witnessed Bradley Wiggins's stunning Time Trial gold at
the London 2012 Olympics. And this less than 10 days after his
sensational Tour de France triumph, when he became the first Briton
to top the podium. But Wiggins is not just famous for winning. His
personality and style - his sideburns are so famous that tabloid
newspapers were providing cut-outs for fans to wear on the morning
of the Olympic race - have earned him the status of national hero.
Wiggins is no overnight champion. He has been at the top of his
sport for over a decade and this new illustrated book celebrates
the life of this great man, who is now Britain's greatest-ever
Olympian and road racer. As a kid, while his friends had posters of
footballers on their bedroom walls, Wiggins idolised the great
Spanish cyclist, Miguel Indurain, setting the scene for a career in
the saddle. The book details every aspect of his rise to the top of
his game, alternating between the twin disciplines of the velodrome
- where he dominated the Pursuit events at the 2004 and 2008
Olympics - and the world of professional road racing, culminating
in the magical summer of 2012. It looks at the hours of training,
the great cyclists he has competed both against and alongside, life
at Team Sky and the family life he now enjoys. Along the way, the
full character of this most unusual of sporting champions is
revealed in pictures, narrative and quotes. His outspoken comments
on doping, his love of mod fashion and his witty, quietly spoken
persona all combine to provide the complete story of a man who is
already a legend.
