Bradley Wiggins steps up his preparation for the UCI Track World Championships and Olympic Games today, riding his first road race since last year’s Tour of Britain.
Wiggins lines up for the first race of the Challenge Mallorca – a series of four one-day races on the Spanish island, leading a Great Britain team.
Wiggins is no stranger to Mallorca, often training there throughout the winter and early season. He has raced the race series there on a number of occasions during his long career.

From Spain he will head to the Dubai Tour before returning to the United Kingdom, where he will fine tune his form ahead of the UCI Track World Championships in early March. As well as competing in the team pursuit, Wiggins is set to race the Madison with Mark Cavendish, although the Great Britain team have not confirmed their full line up.
“Mallorca is the first race since the Tour of Britain for Bradley. It’s a good starter for him, his season and it’s the next step for him in developing a good base in preparation for the World Championships,” his track coach, Heiko Salzwedel told Cyclingnews.
“The form in terms of preparation for the Worlds is moving along in the right direction. His focus has shifted towards improving his power level and increasing some muscle mass and that’s going well.”
