Among them is Sir Bradley Wiggins - a man uniquely placed to reflect on the history of this remarkable sport and its unforgettable titans.

Wiggins reflects on the examples cast by 22 of the great cyclists and how they have shaped his own approach. Franco Ballerini, Miguel Indurain and Fausto Coppi all feature.
