With a foreword by Eddy Merckx

The world of professional cycling is fraught with fierce competition, fervent dedication and unerring ambition, and only a handful of competitors reach iconic status. Among them is Sir Bradley Wiggins – a man uniquely placed to reflect on the history of this remarkable sport and its unforgettable titans.

In Icons, Wiggins takes the reader on an extraordinarily intimate journey through the sport, presenting key pieces from his never-before-seen collection of memorabilia. Over the course of his illustrious career, he amassed hundreds of items – often gifts from its greatest and most controversial figures. Each reflects an icon, a race or a moment that fundamentally influenced Wiggins on both a personal and professional level.

By exploring the lives and achievements of 21 of the sport’s key figures – among them Fausto Coppi, Jacques Anquetil, Miguel Induráin and Tom Simpson – Wiggins sheds new light on what professional cycling demands of its best competitors. Icons lauds their triumphs, elucidates their demons and sheds light on the philosophy and psychology that comprise the unique mindset of a cycling champion.

Excellent he knows the history of the sport inside and out yes, but this is more than an inventory of who won what, someone who’s been there at the highest level manages to put this across as one of us mere mortals staring at his idols. Written by a fan for fans. Instalment 2 please ASAP which must feature York, lemond and Kelly.

Brad has an amazing in depth knowledge of cycling legends and history. This is weved together with his extensive experiences in the pro peleton, his opinion and views on cycling culture. Don't listen to the headlines and out of context reporting, read the book and be immersed in Brads cycling icons.

a wonderful journey through cycling icons
