Wiggins, Doull and Dibben lead WIGGINS team at Tour of Britain
The WIGGINS team has named its final line-up for the Tour of Britain, with Owain Doull, Jon Dibben, Chris Latham, Mark Christian and Dan Pearson in the six-rider squad alongside Bradley Wiggins.
It will be the first race for Wiggins and Doull since they won a gold medal in the team pursuit at the Rio Olympic Games. It will be their first road race since the Tour of California in May and almost certainly Wiggins' final road race in Britain. Doull won the points jersey and finished third overall at the 2015 Tour of Britain.

Dibben should have no problem with the eight days of racing after recently completing the Tour de L’Avenir stage race in France. The 22-year-old Briton finished in the top three on three stages, including a third place in the 16km time trial, where he was beaten by fellow young talents Adrien Costa and Neilson Powless of the USA.
Christian, Pearson and Latham have been competing in a series of one- day races in Belgium, with Latham taking second in the Omloop Mandel-Leie-Schelde Meulebeke last week.
The Tour of Britain begins in Glasgow on Sunday September 4 and ends a week later in central London.
