Addicted to series about vampires and zombies, he knows everything about your favorite stars, with a slight preference for what happens across the Atlantic. Although he has the hot blood of the Spanish, he still maintains his very French humor and never shrinks from a well-intentioned play on words.
After winning the Tour de France in the 2010s, a former cyclist is currently on the verge of personal bankruptcy. The great champion must now repay a very large sum to get by.

You can have won the Tour de France once in your life and find yourself stranded a few years later. This is unfortunately what is happening to a former winner of the Grande Boucle. After the years of domination of Lance Armstrong and before the advent of Christopher Froome, one of his compatriots won the most prestigious cycling competition on the planet.
In 2012, Bradley Wiggins won the Tour de France for the only time in his career, before retiring in 2016 after a busy career, including winning 5 Olympic gold medals. The champion, who was sexually assaulted at 13 by his trainer, then went into business, but obviously he did not know how to make the right choices. According to information on the site cyclingweekly, the 43-year-old Englishman is threatened with personal bankruptcy and owes a huge sum of money. According to information from the English media, his creditors are demanding nearly a million pounds (or 1.14 million euros).
He wouldn’t have repaid a cent in 3 years.
A huge sum that Bradley Wiggins has still not repaid and he could well lose very big in this affair, like the two brands in his name, Wiggins and Wiggo, which have just been put up for sale. According to information from our colleagues, it has been September 2020 since the former cyclist’s company was put into liquidation, but we learned today that the liquidators have not yet received any money since that date .
For his part, the winner of the Tour de France is in a situation that seems inextricable. When his creditors contacted him, he simply indicated that his financial difficulties “had been going on for a few years now and he didn’t see when they might end”. But then, how did a champion as well paid as Bradley Wiggins get to this point? According to the latter, this situation is due to “professional negligence on the part of people who left a pile of things lying around” with his name marked on it, as he indicates.
Very sad news for Bradley Wiggins, who does not seem to be coping since the end of his career.
