NEW DELHI: As the 2022 season of the Tour de France gets underway in the Danish capital of Copenhagen on Friday, former British cycling legend, Sir Bradley Wiggins, has fondly recalled his historic feat of winning the Tour and Olympic gold just 10-days apart, achieved almost exactly a decade ago from date. When it comes to winning, Sir Wiggins remains amongst one of the greats, being the only rider to have World and Olympic titles on both track and road as well as having won the Tour de France.
Reminiscing on the time when he held the winning Yellow Jersey about 10 years back, Sir Wiggins said, “I’m amazed it’s 10 years. It’s gone so quick. So much has happened in that time. But I think it’s quite nice I am in the position that I am in today really, which I’m grateful for. I don’t really overthink it or mark any dates and things like that. But the only thing I know is the day I won because my son reminded me of it the other day. He’s as fanatical as I was about the sport at 17,” Sir Wiggins told a press meet organised by Eurosport.
