Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.
From Bradley Wiggins
You train all year for the physical aspect of cycling, but you can't plan for what comes next. You're still the same person. External perceptions might change, but inside, you're the same.
Working-class people don't tend to be wooed by celebrity.
You think if you win the Olympics, you'll become a millionaire overnight. But I was still scraping the barrel, looking down the back of the settee for pound coins to buy a pint of milk.
You take for granted that you can walk. You do it every day, and then suddenly you can't walk, and you have to remember, 'How did I get out of this chair and start walking in the first place?'
I didn't like doing team presentations at races, being introduced as the winner of the Tour. I felt quite embarrassed by it.
When I did win the Tour, I felt I was feted more in the U.K. for being an Olympic gold medallist... Then I come back to Europe to race, and they're not interested in the Olympic gold; it's about being the winner of the Tour de France - here he is.
You know what? I've won the Tour de France, and now I feel ready to talk about it.
I'm not really a computer man, to be honest. I check my emails every couple of weeks.
I've always shied away from computers, the Internet and all that. I'm a bit more traditional, really - pick up a newspaper, pick up a phone.
