Bradley Wiggins’s tragic fall from Olympic hero to broke couch-surfer

Saw him sitting with a beer in the fan zone watching his son at the WC last year. I can believe his finances have gone to shit, and that he's not in a good place in any number of other ways (seems like ex pro athletes are at quite high risk for this type of outcome). But thankfully he has not lost "everything". For what it's worth, I'm sure the whole cycling community still admires him and is rooting for his success and happiness, in however he chooses to define that.

Wow they just gloss over the fact that he was abused by his coach. I always liked Wiggins, he was such a strong steady presence in the peloton, a true champion that acted in the manner befitting the yellow jersey. I hope he finds the help he needs

I tend to avoid the Telegraph, but there's good coverage elsewhere:

I miss seeing Wiggins as a GCN+ commentator, he had good insight in the stage races. That seemed like a good gig for him, but of course, Warner Brothers/Discovery threw GCN+ in the bin, which probably didn't help his finances.

What a shame, thanks for sharing
