About this listen

On 22 July 2012 Bradley Wiggins became the first British man ever to win the Tour de France. In an instant, 'Wiggo' became a national hero. Ten days later, having swapped his yellow jersey for the colours of Team GB, he won Olympic gold in the time trial, adding to his previous six medals to become the nation's most decorated Olympian of all time. Outspoken, honest, intelligent and fearless, Wiggins has been hailed as the people’s champion.

In My Time he tells the story of the remarkable journey that led to him winning the world’s toughest race. He opens up about his life on and off the bike, about the personal anguish that has driven him on and what it’s like behind the scenes at Team Sky: the brutal training regimes, the sacrifices and his views on his teammates and rivals. He talks too about his anger at the spectre of doping that pursues his sport, how he dealt with the rush of taking Olympic gold, and above all what it takes to be the greatest.

Surprisingly excellent.

I say "surprisingly" because while I am an avid fan of cycling and road racing, Bradley Wiggins was never a cyclist I wanted to know more about. Perhaps that is because in 2012, he simply won too many races and his face was everywhere, so I felt there was no need to root for him nor research his backstory. Wow, I was so wrong! It is really good. I loved Wiggins' take on cycling and the story of his races. I was surprised by the story of his family background, especially his relationship with his father and grandfather. He has a great attitude, uses plenty of colorful language, and seems like a person you'd like to hang out with. I agree with other reviewers about the narrator - he really sells it. One of the best match-ups on Audible.

Not bad for a ghost written piece.

As good an insight into cycling as you can hope from Mr Wiggins. Fairly egocentric and at times a little juvenile. Mostly about his feelings and not much about cycling. If you want to hear about cycling from a pro then The Obree Way by Graeme Obree is the best out of 10 cycling books I've heard on audible.

Humble, funny, and interesting....I really dug it

If you could sum up My Time in three words, what would they be?

A really great listen and loved the narrator. Read this book and read Chris Froomes book back to back and you will get a full picture! Loved it!

What other book might you compare My Time to and why?

Chris Froome: the climb. He talks about Wiggins and the tour and all that went behind the scenes....also a great read or listen!

What about Tom Watt’s performance did you like?

He set the tone and attitude of Wiggins. Loved it.

Written from the heart

This book explains who Brad really is. His book is written with passion and is very informative. He has a really good knowledge of the history of cycling and he shares personal experiences and talks about his numbers to achieve his results. Definitely worth a read.
