Wiggins saw an historic 2012 season capped on Sunday, when he was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year after receiving 30 per cent of the public vote. With almost half a million people voting for him, speculation is now mounting that a knighthood will follow. "To be deemed good enough to have something like that is as big an accolade as what the public voted me on Sunday," Wiggins said. "These things, you can't plan for. You can plan physically to try and win a bike race - all the things after that are out of your hands. "It is another reward, like Sunday's, that you can't buy. Whether I used the title or not is another thing."
