Men's Individual Pursuit

At Athens 2004 we saw Bradley Wiggins win the Gold medal in the Mens Individual Pursuit. He went on to claim two further Olympic medals, in the Team Pursuit (Silver) and Madison (Bronze) to become Britains greatest ever Olympic Cyclist.

Form

Brad Wiggins still looks to be the man to beat. He recently won a gold in the Individual Pursuit final at the World Championships, when he lapped the German Robert Bartko in the final.
