After ending his Team Sky career barely a few weeks ago, Bradley Wiggins says he already feels happier at Team Wiggins, where he is focussing on returning to the track to score more Gold Medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
“I’ve made quite a big shift, the goals have really changed now on the track,” said the 35-year-old.
“I was building to that [returning to the track] and have had a long time to think about that and be ready for that, so it’s been really good actually.”
“The last few weeks I’ve been feeling quite liberated and happy again; my wife commented on that, she’s never seen me so happy, which is nice.”
While using the team to help his own aims, Wiggins has recruited some young riders and the second aim of the team is to provide a platform for younger Brits to make it as successful WorldTour pros.
“We’ve got some young guys like Owain [Doull], and that in the team who really want to do well,” said Wiggins. “It’s a platform for him to hopefully go on to [ride for a] WorldTour [team] next year, so it would be nice to just help those guys and really put them in a position to do that.”
