Bradley Wiggins to retire from road racing next year

Sir Bradley Wiggins will compete for one more year with Team Sky before retiring from professional road racing next summer.

In an interview with The Times (£), Wiggins said there was little chance of him winning the Tour de France again.

Speaking of teammate Chris Froome, he said, "I don't mind admitting that Chris is probably a better Grand Tour rider than me. He has age on his side, he has no kids. That's fine. If Chris wants to, he could potentially win five tours now."

Wiggins is setting his sights on a return to the velodrome at Rio 2016, telling the newspaper, "I'm going to continue to the next Olympics and try for a fifth gold on the track, that's the plan".

"It would be nice to finish the career with another Olympic gold," he added.
