Bradley Wiggins has confirmed that he has finished his last ever road race at the Tour of Britain. In the next weeks, he will be focusing only on the track. H e has confirmed that he and Mark Cavendish will line out together at the London Six Day and the Ghent Six in November.

"As world champion now with Mark Cavendish we are going to finish off the season with the London Six Day and then – for those who are aware of it, the historic Belgian Six Day in Ghent in November. It keeps me occupied for the next few months or so. But that is certainly it for the road. And what a way to finish. Brilliant," Wiggins told ITV4.

The Tour of Britain was not easy.

"I'm happy just to be back in London to be honest because earlier in the week there were times when I thought it's going to be quite a challenge," he said. "It's been a brutal edition of the race. Probably the hardest it's been for a few years, certainly. Plus the fact that we weren't the best-prepared coming off the back of the Olympics and all the celebrations afterwards. But I'm delighted to be here now."
