Wiggo interview

[James Blackwell]

Just read this on the BBC website. I like Wiggins a lot, I think he is one of the greatest characters in British Sport.

Enjoyed that.

Wiggins is genuinely interested and engaging. Not a platitude in sight. Interesting how both he and Cav are scornful of Steve Peters and the 'inner chimp'.

Does a good American accent too!

He must have taken a leaf from Jacques Anquetil who was a master in bluffing when he was suffering and continually calculating the odds.

Talking of French cyclists, there were a couple of references to French teams and a certain kind of ''gagne qui peut'' approach. I wonder if that's still true: there are some very talented new cyclists coming through in France.

Enjoyable programme, I thought. Wiggins is a fascinating character and I found myself warming to Rob Hayles over the course of the broadcast.
