Legendary cyclist Wiggins became synonymous with some striking sideburns during his days as a professional, but his new look has left fans in uproar.
Appearing on ITV‘s The Chase, Wiggins sported a new, more refined style, dropping his traditional sideburns in the process.
And fans took to social media in disbelief at the transformation – though they seem to believe the new look is a keeper.
One user said: “Jeez Bradley Wiggins has morphed into a hottie!!!!”
A second said: “wait bradley wiggins looks so different #thechase.”
A third admitted: “Watching The Chase and my brain just cannot compute that that is Bradley Wiggins????”
A fourth user added: “Sorry lads, but Sir Bradley Wiggins looks nothing like Bradley Wiggins.”
“Most important thing that’s happened this Christmas is the Bradley Wiggins glow up,” proclaimed another.
Another said: “Wait… Hang on… that’s Bradley Wiggins?! Corrrrr he’s looking good! #TheChase.”

In terms of his actual performance, Wiggins was unable to replicate the massive success he had with a bike with Bradley Walsh and Co.
Wiggins racked up £4,000 in the cash-builder and made it to the final for a chance to win £14,000.
However, he and his final team-mates were caught by Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan – though the show still allowed each of their guests to walk away with £1,000 for their respective charities, with Wiggin’s being Mind.
The 42-year-old won a host of accolades during his cycling days, including the infamous Tour de France, three World Championships and five Gold Medals at the Olympics.
