Sir Bradley Wiggins

Sir Bradley Wiggins is a legendary British cyclist and one of the most celebrated sportsmen in UK history. As a speaker and host, he offers an unparalleled perspective on elite performance, leadership, and resilience. Best known as the first Briton to win the Tour de France, he achieved this historic feat in 2012 - just days before clinching Olympic gold in the time trial at the London Games. With a career spanning over two decades, Sir Bradley is a compelling storyteller who shares the highs and lows of life at the very top of international sport.

Born in Ghent, Belgium, and raised in Northwest London, Bradley overcame personal adversity from a young age. Inspired by Chris Boardman’s 1992 Olympic triumph, he began track cycling at 12 and quickly rose through the amateur ranks. His early success included multiple national junior titles, and a breakthrough win at the 1998 Junior World Championships. By 18, he was representing England at the Commonwealth Games, earning his first senior medal - a sign of the greatness to come. His formative years at Herne Hill Velodrome and Manchester Velodrome shaped his legendary work ethic and passion for the sport.

Throughout his illustrious career, Bradley became a five-time Olympic gold medallist, earning a total of eight Olympic medals across five Games. He claimed multiple World Championship titles in both road and track disciplines and held the world record in team pursuit. In 2012, he not only conquered the Tour de France, but also completed an extraordinary treble by winning the Paris–Nice, Critérium du Dauphiné and Tour de Romandie - a rare sweep never before achieved in a single season. That same year, he was awarded the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, the Vélo d’Or, and was later knighted in the 2013 New Year Honours.

Now a highly sought-after speaker, Sir Bradley brings audiences powerful insights into peak performance, marginal gains, overcoming adversity, and the realities of life in the spotlight. With raw honesty, he speaks on mental health, reinvention, and maintaining drive in the face of setbacks. His speeches are inspirational, practical, and filled with humour and humility. Whether addressing corporate leaders, sports teams or schools, Wiggins connects deeply with audiences through a rare combination of lived excellence and personal authenticity. If you’re looking to inspire your organisation or event with a true sporting icon, Sir Bradley Wiggins is a keynote speaker not to be missed.
