Bradley Wiggins’ name has been left off Team Sky’s roster for the 2014 Tour de France.
According to cyclingnews.com:
As it stands, I won’t be there, probably,” Wiggins said in a live interview on BBC television on Friday morning. “The team is focused around Chris Froome, the defending champion who’s got a great chance of winning his second Tour and it’s decided that they’ll base the team around him, so unfortunately I won’t be there.”
Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins have not raced together all season, and as long as Froome remains injury-free, he and team manager Dave Brailsford have decided who would be the best team to assist him in defending his title at the Tour de France – a team which does not include Wiggins.
Says Wiggins,
“Don’t get me wrong, I am gutted, I’ve worked extremely hard for this all winter. I feel I’m in the form I was two years ago at the 2012 Tour de France but I also understand that cycling is a team sport and at the end of the day it’s about the team winning. That team is Sky and Chris is the defending champion.”
