Shane Sutton, the head of British Cycling has described Team WIGGINS as being a great prospect for helping Team GB win medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
He told Sky Sports News HQ: “It’s fantastic news and gives us a great opportunity with our team pursuit squad moving forward to Rio with Brad.”
“It’s a great partnership with Sky and this team allows the young riders of British Cycling to step up and ride alongside a Tour winner like Bradley, which can only be a massive inspiration to everybody within our programme.”
“There are a lot of building blocks to go through, but inspiration is a major part of it and Brad does inspire the young guys in this programme.”
Wiggins himself will join the team after his final race for Team Sky at Paris-Roubaix on April 30 before coming across to prepare himself for the Olympics on the track.
