Bradley Wiggins’ body fat

July 31, 2012 · by Alex · in Tour de France

Cyclists’ bodies are famously freakish. Thighs, lungs and hearts are enormous, while the arms and torso tend to be all emaciated. For such fit people, they can look damn sickly. Bradley Wiggins is 6ft 3in…

Bradley Wiggins – Tour de France rider to know and love

June 30, 2012 · by Alex · in Tour de France
