Bradley Wiggins Meets Greg LeMond: A Riveting Chat
Bradley Wiggins: Hey Greg, it’s an honor to finally sit down with you. I’ve looked up to your career for so long.
Greg LeMond: Likewise, Brad. It’s fantastic to be chatting with another Tour de France winner. How’s life treating you post-racing?
Bradley Wiggins: It’s been a wild ride, pun intended! I’ve delved into punditry, written a book, even tried my hand at a bit of javelin throwing. How about you, Greg? What keeps you busy these days?
Greg LeMond: Oh, you know, just trying to stay active and involved in the cycling community. My bike company keeps me busy, and I love staying involved in the sport from behind the scenes. Also, I’ve been advocating for cleaner cycling practices. It’s a passion of mine.
Bradley Wiggins: That’s incredible. Clean sport is so crucial. Speaking of which, what do you think of the current state of the Tour de France and the new generation of riders?
Greg LeMond: It’s exciting. The new generation seems to be raising the bar every year. The peloton is more competitive than ever. But let’s be honest, the rivalries back in our days had their own special flavor, don’t you think?
Bradley Wiggins: Absolutely. The battles were epic. I remember your rivalry with Bernard Hinault – the original “boss” of the peloton. Those were some classic moments.
Greg LeMond: Yeah, they don’t make them quite like Hinault anymore, do they? But I must say, it’s great to see how technology has evolved in the sport. Those aero bikes and power meters are game-changers.
Bradley Wiggins: Tell me about it. When I swapped my track bike for a time trial bike, it was like going from a Fiat to a Ferrari. The precision, the data—cycling has become a science.
Greg LeMond: Yep, but at the end of the day, it’s still about heart and determination. Speaking of which, your Olympic gold in 2012 was legendary. What was going through your mind during that race?
Bradley Wiggins: Thanks, Greg. It was surreal. All I could think was to give it everything I had. The crowd’s energy was electrifying, and I just rode the wave of adrenaline all the way to the finish line.
Greg LeMond: And you did it in style. It’s moments like those that inspire the next generation. So, what’s next on the horizon for Bradley Wiggins?
Bradley Wiggins: Who knows? Maybe I’ll pick up another sport, or perhaps get deeper into coaching. But for now, I’m enjoying life, spending time with the family, and staying connected to the sport I love.
Greg LeMond: Sounds like a plan. Keep inspiring, Brad. It’s been fantastic catching up with you.
Bradley Wiggins: Likewise, Greg. Let’s do this again soon. Maybe next time, we’ll go for a ride and show these youngsters how it’s done!
