But Wiggins' victory was not without its controversy. Some critics argued that he had only won because the race was held on home soil, and that he would not have been able to compete with the best riders in the world on a more challenging course.

In his new book, Unravelling The Mystery, cycling journalist Richard Moore sets out to investigate the truth behind Wiggins' victory.

Moore's book is a fascinating and insightful account of one of the most significant moments in British cycling history. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the sport, or in the story of how one man overcame adversity to achieve his dreams.

The Road to Victory

Wiggins' victory at the 2012 Tour de France was the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. He had been a professional cyclist for over a decade, and had come close to winning the Tour on several occasions.

In 2012, Wiggins was in the form of his life. He had won the Paris-Nice and Tour de Romandie stage races earlier in the season, and he was one of the favourites for the Tour de France.

The Tour de France is a gruelling race, covering over 3,500 kilometres in 23 days. Wiggins faced a number of challenges along the way, including a crash in the first week of the race. But he never gave up, and he eventually crossed the finish line in Paris as the overall winner.

The Controversy

Wiggins' victory was not without its controversy. Some critics argued that he had only won because the race was held on home soil, and that he would not have been able to compete with the best riders in the world on a more challenging course.

These criticisms were largely unfounded. Wiggins had already proven himself to be one of the best riders in the world by winning the Paris-Nice and Tour de Romandie stage races earlier in the season. And he faced a number of challenges during the Tour de France, including a crash in the first week of the race.

Wiggins' victory was a landmark moment in British cycling history. He is a true champion, and his victory is a testament to his hard work and dedication.
