Sir Bradley Wiggins to lead own team at Tour of Britain

Former Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins will compete at the Tour of Britain with his own Team Wiggins.

The six-strong outfit, which also includes Owain Doull, Michael Thompson, Jonathan Dibben, Chris Lawless and Andy Tennant, will compete in the event for the first time.

Wiggins, who won the Tour of Britain in 2013 and last year claimed a third-place finish, is also aiming to be named in the Great Britain track team for the Rio 2016 Olympics.

British Cycling's premier road race will get underway on Anglesey on September 6.
