"My dream is to win Flanders and Roubaix, become world champion, and wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France" - Ben Wiggins, Bradley's son
Cycling
Bradley Wiggins’ son Ben Wiggins has revealed goals for his long-term cycling career. Like his father, he wants to wear yellow jersey sometime in future and become the World champion.
Ben has learnt how to handle the pressure of his family name and admits, "it comes with a lot of blessings as well." He became the European junior champion in the points race earlier this year. "My goal next year is to be junior world champ on the road and track. It's big, but you have to have big ambitions otherwise, there's no point, really. I have a lot of confidence in myself and my ability," he told Sporza.

He continues, "I'm quite similar to my dad, maybe, but there are a lot of similarities with my grandad, Gary, as well. My dad was quite skinny, and I'm a bit bigger. I don't want to put a label on what I am yet because I'm still young. People said my dad would never be able to climb when he was younger. I want to win everything, so we'll have a go."
Ben knows dreams are not easy to achieve in this world. In an ideal world, I'd be the best ever, but it's not always an ideal world," Wiggins said. He is clear about his goal, which includes some high-level races. "My dream is to win Flanders and Roubaix, become world champion, and wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France. Hopefully, go higher than that as well, even bigger,” concluded Wiggins.

- A great route, much more exciting than the Tour de France. Monte Livata is an interesting one, because they experimented with it at the 2026 Baby Giro, and it was fantastic. 4 km at 10%, then 10 km at 6.5% made for a great spectacle. The stage 16 is horrible
Rafionain-Glas03-11-2026 - I remember when Mark went through that. He was really experiencing lows and thought about quiting many times. It took him a long time to recover. I, like many others were overjoyed when he came back. I hope Lafay has been tested. I wish him the best.Paggss03-11-2026

- I think Jonas would have lost the TDF by 4+ minutes (at the least) and might not have even been in the top 3. Too much talent in the younger riders to say anyone not named Pogačar would have been top 3md197503-11-2026

- There was once a time when Lance was supremely popular and he used his artificial "It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life" persona to lead his mob in going after Greg. There was no one Lance did not abuse in protecting his phony hero image. Lance promoted himself as a divine megastar and he let down millions of cancer victims and gullible devotees who clung far too long to the charade. Lance is the epitome of a corrupt person and because of his power, many around him, including business enterprises, succumbed to the evil. All who got in Armstrong's way were mercilessly attacked by him and his minions. This remarkably continues today with a new generation. LeMond was a number one enemy and paid a huge price. Who do you think slandered who?Yepperoni03-11-2026
