Bradley Wiggins will ride this weekend the Tour de Yorkshire. The British rider will line up against his former Sky team for the first time. He will wear the Team Wiggins colors in order to do the transitions from the road to the track with an attemps at breaking the hour record.

“I would not have had any of the success that I’ve had if I hadn’t been in this team,” Wiggins said during a talk with members of the media during the classics, according to Velonews. “In years to come, I’ll look back on these times with affection. It’s just a shame it has to come to an end.”

He told a few days ago that he is taking aim at the hour record June 7. He would like to be present at the 2016 Olympics to ride in the team pursuit with Great Britain. 

About the Yorkshire race, Team Wiggins will bet on a great roster with Ben Swift, Ian Boswell, Nathan Earle, Andy Fenn, Sebastián Henao, Salvatore Puccio, and Chris Sutton. “Bradley is one of the most professional guys out there, and to have witnessed his commitment to a goal he sets is inspiring,” the 27-year-old Swift told VeloNews. “It will be quite strange lining up against him after being a teammate with him for most of my career.”

Ian Boswell added: “I still have a lot of respect for Bradley. It changes the dynamic racing against him rather than with him. It was only a couple of moths ago when we were still together. It’s a time of change for team Sky. This was his team, built to win the Tour, and with Bradley. Now there’s a change in the hierarchy. Who’s going to be the next face of Sky? Chris Froome is already here, and riders like Luke Rowe, Pete Kennaugh, and Geraint Thomas are coming up quickly.”
