Bradley Wiggins removed from Team Sky's Tour of Denmark

British Olympic medallist Bradley Wiggins has been withdrawn from Team Sky's lineup for the Tour of Denmark.

The 32-year-old, who won the Tour de France and an Olympic gold medal in the time-trial within a two-week period, was originally added to the eight-man team.

While Wiggins was expected to be a part of the Tour, Team Sky have decided to give the cyclist extra time off to recover from his recent triumphs.

The five-day race is due to get underway next week.
