Summary
Winner of 2012 BBC Sports Personality Of the Year
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.

Sir Bradley Wiggins
There wasn't much about his years growing up but that's the part we hate anyway. Brilliant book, in detail about his TDF and also his previous races / Olympics

Classic tale of great British Sportsman
Following his successes last year in the Tour and at the Olympics I decided to purchase this to listen to on the train. I was enthralled by the story read so well by Tom Watt and listened to it every day until the end. It made me actually look forward to my daily commute. I now cycle regularly partly due to this story.

Don"t judge a book by it"s cover
Nice one Brad, I have always liked the way you ride the bike on the track, and I must admit to mistakenly thinking that you was a little arrogant , however after reading your book I now see you in a new light. Nice one

So much better than I thought it would be.
What made the experience of listening to My Time the most enjoyable?
Really honest account, don't think his holding anything back and this came out in pretty quick order following the success of 2012 so I smelt a 'cash-in knocked another Bio out in five minutes' jobs but it was much better than that is a really good read.
What was one of the most memorable moments of My Time?
A good understanding of what its like to be inside the maillot jaune.
What about Tom Watt’s performance did you like?
really well read by Tom Watt.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Well two sitting's actually, whilst smashing national cycle route 3!

The greatest English rider to date.
What a story from my favourite cyclists. Thank you for inspiring me to get back on to my bike. I was feeling sorry for myself in 2012 after rupturing my Achilles' tendon but that summer I've relived for Brad's glorious achievements . Great to have someone read to you ... It feels like being a child ... Like getting on the bike for the first time.

Amazing!
Very interesting! Thought I knew a bit about cycling but this blew me out of the water,
Got to know amazing little details and even his psychology during his legendary 2012 year.
