Wiggins, the rebirth after bankruptcy. "Today is better"

Rome, 18 March 2025 – The rise and fall, round trip: to borrow an expression from its areas, Bradley Wiggins and its star have experienced several diametrically opposed trajectories in recent years before the very latest reassuring news provided by the person concerned himself.

Wiggins' Crisis and Rebirth (and Armstrong's Help)

From Tour de France won in 2012, in addition to the many laurels especially on the track, to the economic crisis that had led to bankruptcy due to a debt of over 2 million pounds: the former runner had a tough time but, as he declared to the microphones of CyclingNews, the worst seems to be behind us. But first we must recall the origin of the evils. "I regret not having paid attention to my business while I was running. It often happens to athletes: you earn a lot and if you are not careful other people take advantage of it. I was robbed left and right by various individuals who in theory were supposed to take care of me and my finances". Wiggins seems to exonerate himself from what happened in recent years. "This situation was done to my detriment. Eight months later, everything has changed. The people deemed responsible are paying a very high price for what they did. Fortunately, I am in a good moment: everything is fine now". So, it seems, justice has been done and for the British rider, after a bad storm, a rainbow can be seen also thanks to the friendly hand that the world of cycling, the one in which his name is now banned and erased in every possible sense, does not expect. "That remains an open wound in cycling, but as far as mine, my presence in this life, my being here, lance Armstrong It was a great help. He did the same thing for Jan Ulrich"The three of us grew up without a father."
