Publisher's summary

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.

Mixed up chapters. But interesting insights.

Would you try another book from Bradley Wiggins and/or Tom Watt?

Probably not.

Would you ever listen to anything by Bradley Wiggins again?

Yes, I will try again.

How could the performance have been better?

The accent was not Bradley. A bit frustrating.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from My Time?

I would order the audio book as it was written. Having chapters playing out of order was very frustrating. As the mixup happened early in the delivery, the mix up was not obvious until I had listened to 80% of it. Very disappointing.

Any additional comments?

Feels like you sitting right next to Wiggo

Would you listen to My Time again? Why?

Yes. The details of his 2012 racing season including his TdF win and Olympic TT gold are vivid and rich. It feels like you sitting in his living room and he is telling you stories of his epic year. Includes detail about training, preparation, his family, the team and all his highs and lows.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bradley Wiggins for obvious reasons. Its all about his road career in cycling.

What about Tom Watt’s performance did you like?

His British accent is awesome for sharing Brad Wiggins' story

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The deep insight into how he and his coaches went against tradition in their preparation for the 2012 racing season.

Any additional comments?

It's a great book that cycling fans will particularly enjoy.

boring

After listening to Froomes "The Climb" I would expect Braddley's literally attempt to be entertaining, if not exciting.

Perhaps it's just me and my unfair expectations, but there is no mild way to put it: I found the story line just plain boring. Specially during the first third of it more or less.

The speaker seemed to have tried his best trying to instill some life to the story; at wich he succeeded to a certain extent.

Still waiting for a Cycling book in the league of Krabbés "The Rider" - now that's something I can listen and re-listen, and seemingly never get tired from.

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.

Nice story line

Loved it. Not funny, a bit technical but no need to be a bike rider to enjoy 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.

Wonderful look into Wiggins’ training and racing experience

As insightful a cycling bio as you will find. Great read. Covers many aspects of training and racing that will be informative/instructive to all readers of a cycling background.
