Bradley Wiggins to make book-signing appearance in Manchester

Sir Bradley Wiggins will make a personal appearance at Waterstones book shop in Manchester on Saturday, December 5, to sign copies of his new book, My Hour.

Wiggins will attend Waterstones' Deansgate store from 12 noon to sign copies of his book, which charts his preparation and performance during his successful UCI Hour Record attempt in June this year and includes exclusive photography.

It is reportedly the 2012 Tour de France champion and four-time Olympic gold medallist's sole public signing appearance.

My Hour publisher Yellow Jersey Press says that Wiggins's latest book takes the reader "behind the scenes of his record attempt. From planning to preparation, to training to execution, Bradley shares his thoughts on his sacrifices, his heroes, and the people who have supported him along the way as well as what’s to come as he heads towards the twilight of his stellar career."

The book is published on November 19, priced £20 (hardback).

Wiggins is currently concentrating on track racing ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, where he is hoping for selection for Great Britain's team pursuit squad and win one final Olympic medal to add to his current collection of seven.

Waterstones Deansgate shop can be found at 91 Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2BW, telephone 0161 837 3000.
