Publisher Description
The original autobiography of Bradley Wiggins, the first British rider to have won the Tour de France and a record-equalling seven-time Olympic medallist.
'The autobiography of one of British cycling's true greats is an authentic account of hard knocks, tough times and a surprising amount of alcohol' TIME OUT
Bradley Wiggins is a British sporting legend. Not only has he won seven World Track Championships and a record-equalling seven Olympic medals, including double-gold in Beijing in 2008 and gold in the time trial in London in 2012, he is the first Briton to have won cycling's ultimate prize, the Tour de France.
He is an immensely talented and dedicated endurance athlete with a gritty, down-to-earth persona - cool, outspoken, respected, inspiring - and he has helped to bring track and road cycling to a new audience in the UK.
With new material by Brendan Gallagher, co-author of the original edition, this is the story of a boy with bikes in his blood, of a son abandoned by his father and of the journey from council estate to the very pinnacle of the sport. IN PURSUIT OF GLORY is a compelling, no-holds-barred account of Wiggins' rise to global success and an extraordinary insight into the world of cycling.

Cracking read
Having watched mr wiggins in action on the tour and at 2012 I was keen to know what makes this god of the cycle tick. Glad I did as this is a real and honest portrayal of a natural ability in tooth and claw.
Was ok
Wiggo made it sound like it was all to easy. Having said that I'm sure sure was plenty of suffering, hard times etc. I hope he achieves his goals on the road I'm happy to find out he's has a lot of Aussie blood running through his veins.... Get in there for the tour. Cheers.
