    There are certainly people winning big bike races who have less genetic talent than others in the bunch. Several people I spoke to mentioned the same veteran British pro and said that if he had ever taken it seriously and done the training, he would have won everything from the Tour de France downwards.

    In the book it didn't say he was British, so I guessed it was Oscar Freire, but now I'm puzzled.

    Which era? And by British pro, domestic or conti?

    Cummins seems to be the most relevant. He's a bit of a whinger by all accounts, so may fit the bill.

    How old is the quote?
    If it was from before 2012, Wiggins was a veteran pro, took it seriously then won everything from The Tour down...
