Bradley Wiggins Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von Bradley Wiggins:

Cycling is a part of my life; it always has been, and I will always continue to cycle. I won't be doing it on the world stage, doing it competitively, but I'll still be out on the weekend with the masses riding around Richmond Park in my Team Sky jersey or whatever. I just love it.

Doing 40-minute track sessions is easy money compared to what we were doing on the Tour. What you used to think was hard now feels like a walk in the park.

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.

Bradley Wiggins

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.

Bradley Wiggins

You can plan physically to try to win the Tour, but I could never plan for what was going to happen after it.

Bradley Wiggins

I certainly don't hope to live forever, but on the other hand, I'm not reckless.

Bradley Wiggins

It's an Olympic Games, at the end of the day, and to represent your country at the Olympics is about as good as it gets. Put a gold medal on top of that, and it doesn't ever get any better.

Bradley Wiggins

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.

Bradley Wiggins

I wanted to put a really good kids' racing bike out there for kids under 14: 10-year-olds, eight-year-olds, right down to balance bikes for kids.

Bradley Wiggins

If I'm going to Kilburn, I get on a bus.

Bradley Wiggins

I didn't like doing team presentations at races, being introduced as the winner of the Tour. I felt quite embarrassed by it.

Bradley Wiggins

My mum put herself in £50,000 of debt to service my sporting career. She did everything for me to pursue my dream.

Bradley Wiggins

I can get obsessive with my training, but it makes you who you are.

Bradley Wiggins

That period afterwards, just hating being the winner of the Tour de France, hating cycling, hating the media for asking me questions about Lance Armstrong.

Bradley Wiggins

A lot of the bikes are carbon wheels now, and you don't have as good a braking surface on a carbon wheel in the wet weather as you do on the old aluminium rims.

Bradley Wiggins

They do say now in cycling that there's no such thing as bad weather - it's bad clothing.

Bradley Wiggins

The changing of the goals helps keep the motivation fresh.

Bradley Wiggins

Things change; your priorities change in life. So I'd never think of riding 100 miles on Christmas Day now, because I've got two kids, and it's selfish.

Bradley Wiggins

I drank because I enjoyed it. I was happy sitting at the end of the bar on my own, reading the paper. I've always enjoyed my own company, and that stems from riding alone. I never trained with anyone - and I still don't. I've always been happy with my own thoughts, and that sums me up as an individual-pursuit rider.

Bradley Wiggins

I've got an opportunity that not many people have - to be the leader of Team Sky as I enter the prime years of my career.

Bradley Wiggins

I was a fan of Lance Armstrong, and I remember watching him win the Worlds in '93 in Oslo.

Bradley Wiggins

Pace judgement is everything in the hour record. If you can ride 16.1 or 16.2-second laps constantly for 221 laps, and not go 15.9s or 16.4s, it's keeping it on the line every lap, lap after lap.

Bradley Wiggins

Not having my father around has made me a better person.

Bradley Wiggins

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.

Bradley Wiggins

Early Nineties - that was what it was all about: how people dressed on the terraces.

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.

Bradley Wiggins

You know what? I've won the Tour de France, and now I feel ready to talk about it.

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.

Bradley Wiggins

How does Ronnie O'Sullivan play snooker the way he does? You can't explain it.

Bradley Wiggins

Part of me worries about upsetting people, because we all have perceptions about Olympic champions.

Bradley Wiggins

In my eyes, I will never be up there with the Sir Steve Redgraves and the Sir Chris Hoys of this world. It's not something that drives me; I just enjoy going to the Olympic Games. Just to be mentioned in the same breath as those people is an honour for me. I don't ever think about those kind of things.

Bradley Wiggins

I went to see Ocean Colour Scene at Shepherds Bush and and felt part of something. They paved the way for me.

Bradley Wiggins

I'd love to win Paris-Roubaix.
