[ said]: The assumption is that we're going for both. I haven't really spoken to Cav about what his goals are for the Tour,

dailytimesPK 06-JAN-12

[-said]: Every year is a busy year in cycling terms,

[ said]: I think I've become more than just a time-trialist now, I think I've become a climber,

bbc 14-DEC-11

[ said]: At this stage I seem to be getting better all the time and I'm not conscious of time running out. I want to keep progressing on the gains I've made,

bbc 27-SEP-11

[-insisted]: It's not an age thing, these are the prime years. It's more the mental thing - how long can you sustain that high level of concentration and intensity of training that goes with it?

bbc 27-SEP-11

[-added that]: In the last few years the Tour has opened things up for me as to what the human body is capable of and how good you can be.

[-explained]: The Vuelta is a race I haven't ridden before so it will be exciting to take part in,

bbc 06-JUL-11

[-told]: We took some time off (Alberto) Contador, off Samuel Sanchez, and guys like that,

Cavendish [ said]: The two friends will have a difficult juggling act to perform in July as both eye Olympic medals at the London Games after the Tour. Wiggins has three pursuit golds on the track but Cavendish has yet to win an Olympic title. It's going to be a massive July and I'm motivated for the Tour de France and the Olympics both for completely separate reasons,
