Wiggins eyes Glasgow gold
FOUR-TIME Olympic cycling champion Sir Bradley Wiggins has confirmed his intention to compete at this summer’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Wiggins, 33, won two silver medals at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester 12 years ago and team pursuit silver in Kuala Lumpur in 1998.
The time trial at this summer’s Games takes place on 31 July, four days after the Tour de France concludes, but Wiggins is intent on securing that elusive gold medal.
“It’ll be nice to add that,” said the London-raised Team Sky rider.
“And it’s a couple of days after the Tour, so it’s just for the sake of carrying on for a few more days and doing it. It’s a nice thing to have within the UK.”
