Bradley Wiggins wants to keep racing right until the end of the season after becoming Britain’s most decorated Olympian. The Brit has planned to race at his home Tour to bring down the curtain on his road career before heading for a few more track races to end his glorious life as a pro cyclist.

The 36 year old will line up with Team Wiggins in Britain and confirmed he has no interest in riding the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where he will be 40 years old.

“My last race will be the Ghent Six Day with Cav. I’m not going to Tokyo. I’d love to, but I want to finish on a high, I don’t want to go into another Olympic cycle,” he told Cycling Weekly.

“Those next two years would be horrible, you know, going back to Manchester and them early mornings in December with crap skinsuits and crap helmets. They only bring the nice kit out once every four years. Nah.”

Wiggins, who won a fifth gold medal as part of the team pursuit a few nights ago with Owain Doull, Steven Burke and Ed Clancy, says Ghent will always be special to him as its where he was born.

“I have to go back to my next historical base, the Ghent Six Day, which is where I want to end it. It’s my first memory as a child, being there with my dad when he was racing. The place hasn’t changed and it will be a nice end to my career, back where I was born and where it all started.”

To confirm, Wiggins will race Tour of Britain (4-11 September) and then the Six Day races in London (25-30 October) and Ghent (15-20 November).
