Just off the bike after an amazing performance at the Tour de France, British track legend, Olympic champion and Mod revivalist Bradley Wiggins gave a great interview to the Guardian newspaper, wherein he talked about out of body experiences on Ventoux and the spirit of Tom Simpson. As he says himself "When I reached Ventoux on the second-last day it felt as if Tom was waiting for me. As I began the climb it felt as if his spirit was riding with me. It started on the early slopes and I imagined how Tom must have been feeling, riding towards his death, and the feeling grew as I climbed." Read the rest here.
