Sad story I hope he genuinly gets people around him and gets to a proper place in life which he can enjoy.

Simultaneously very good and exhausting interview.

Wow. Chapeau Bradley. So raw and honest. So much respect. On and off the bike.

Yes, Wiggins sounds like he has a lot of issues to work through and I wish he would at least consider (or re-consider) group therapy if one-on-one sessions with a therapist don't do it for him. What he's carrying is a lot, god that man is intense. Hope he finds some peace.

I hope Bradley and everyone had a great day.
Unfortunately £50 to enter was too steep for me.

 

[Ricco']

How is it a "three-year break from cycling"? I could swear he was last year in the Tour de France convoy as part of GCN team.

 

[samhocking]

He did Brad on a Bike in 2019 and 2021 iirc, so 3 years away from being involved in the sport of cycling.

 

[yaco]

His son is riding as a stagiare for Jayco in the Cro Tour. If ben makes WT level it will most likely be with jayco.

Isn't that the great thing about cocaine? Makes you a better member of your capitalist society, if anything...

His definition of "functioning" is interesting to say the least.

Love it when a thread gets dug up and you see some poster who is banned you completely forgot about. I miss velaso montador telling us about how amazing his long vacation on a yacht is last year.

Love it when a thread gets dug up and you see some poster who is banned you completely forgot about. I miss velaso montador telling us about how amazing his long vacation on a yacht is last year.

My favourite personality quirk of that generation of poster (VM, Vwpe, Mou) was how they'd finish an argument by telling us how they were 'off to the beach' or how they had 'got important and cool things to do' as though they didn't want to waste any more time arguing with losers on a cycling forum. Then you check the thread the next day and after telling everyone they were leaving they had clearly just carried on furiously posting for another 6 hours.
