Wiggins ‘gutted’ to miss Tour
Print Edition
BRITAIN’S Bradley Wiggins, the 2012 Tour de France winner, said yesterday that he was “gutted” not to be selected for Team Sky to compete in this year’s race.
Wiggins told BBC that he would not take part in the race he became the first British rider to win, with his team concentrating on last year’s winner Chris Froome.
“The team is focused around Chris Froome,” the team leader, Wiggins, 34, said. “I am gutted. I’ve worked extremely hard for this throughout the winter and up to the summer. I feel I am in the form I was two years ago.”
“I’ve been working towards that all season. It’s disappointing because it would perhaps have been my last Tour de France,” added Wiggins, who was support rider to Froome last season.
Wiggins has also won four Olympic gold medals both on the track and the road.
