In sport, you just have to take what you can get.

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.

From 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.

From 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.

From 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.

From Bradley Wiggins

I still look back and think, 'How did I win the Tour, going day to day under that pressure?'

From Bradley Wiggins

When you're in the heat of the moment, you need guys you can trust and who have been there for you.

From 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.

From 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.

From 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.
