Bradley Wiggins Quotes

At the point in a match where most guys would wear out, I'll still be fresh.

Swimming is one of the hardest sports.

For me, triathlons were something that was down to me and my fitness. Now, I really enjoy the pain in the triathlon of chasing someone down. It's a bit like chasing down Nico Rosberg in the last few laps at Silverstone - it makes you feel alive.

We're going in really fresh. We're going to have fresh legs and bodies, we're going to be able to stay the distance, and that's our goal.

The Tour de France is a wicked sport in the way that it's not just man against man or woman against woman; it's not flesh against flesh. It's flesh against machine.

As tired as I am, I can always go another round, and I feel the other guy can't.

I do track, I run football fields, I run hills. I run until you feel like you can't run any more. I do the pool, I do anything that takes my body to the limit.

During the Tour you get tired, you get exhausted, you're in pain and you can get sick for a few days but still have to ride through it.

Fitness gives you confidence, and if you're fit, you don't have to wonder whether you'll last the 90 minutes.

I like a match that shows strength, stamina, scientific technique.

Obviously, teams start wearing down. But that's kind of when you thrive, when the other team starts to get tired.

I feel like five rounds is nothing for me.

The field is fantastic, great runners, so the best you can do is stay in control, pace yourself well, and then utilise it when you can do better.

Fitness has always been one of my strengths. I can do all the long-distance runs. When I was at school and we entered the competitions, I used to do the 100m, 200m, and the 1500m as well, so it's never just been a pace thing.

The Tour de France is ridiculously hard.

There were no shortcuts, I realized. It took years of racing to build up the mind and body and character until a rider had logged hundreds of races and thousands of miles of road. I wouldn't be able to win a Tour de France until I had enough iron in my legs, and lungs, and brain and Heart.

Boxing is kind of like football in that you test each other's desire to be there.

Every race is like training and preparation.

Wrestling encompasses hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and determination - there's just nothing like it in any sport.

From my first fight, I loved being in the ring. I tune everything out - the lights, the smells, the noise - so I'm in this zone where I'm performing only for myself.

Wrestling was the hardest thing I've ever done.

I train like an animal in the ring. There's nobody that can beat me because I train hard for everybody.

I have come to see what the Tour is about, and it has been harder than I imagined. You don't realise what it is like until you actually compete.

You put the pressure on this guy. You test his conditioning. You test the cardio. You test the heart, the will. That's how you beat RDA.

When training camp comes, all the guys in my running back room will see how hard I go every day.
