Sir Bradley? Dont see anything unusual there. There are plenty of precedents from way back, including Sir Stanley Matthews, Sir Don Bradman and Sir Gordon Richards. All good blokes, no doubt, but they were knighted for their sporting achievements and Wiggins is no different. I know nothing about cycling as a sport, seems like a refined form of masochism to me, but good luck to the guy I say.
