Sir Bradley Wiggins in Beverley?
Fri 13th March 2015Sir Bradley Wiggins has confirmed his intention to ride in the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire in May.
The 2012 Tour de France winner will leave Team Sky at the end of April to head up his own Team Wiggins developmental squad, and has said the three-day race in Yorkshire will be among his first assignments for the new team.
Wiggins revealed his plans in an interview with The Cycling Podcast, which first aired on Thursday, and said he is keen to ride in the legacy event from last year's Le Grand Depart in Yorkshire.
However, there has been some confusion as to his availability, due to possible UCI rulings and a transfer window which takes place in June - one month after the Tour de Yorkshire takes place.
