Sir Bradley Wiggins has broken his three-year absence from cycling having associated the sport with “bad things” and “childhood traumas.”
The eight-time Olympic medallist had taken a break due to mental health “trials and tribulations” and said he had deliberately “isolated himself from the world.”
He said he had now emerged the other side as he took part in a 50-mile ride-along with keen amateurs around Stafford.
“I’m in a really good place now,” he said, “It’s been nice to remember just how many friends I’ve got in this sport.”
