Bradley Wiggins recently finished second with Mark Cavendish in the Six-Days of London. The 36-year-old Briton has stated that the Six Days of Ghent will mark the end of his career but whether that will actually be the case is now in question. At the end of the race in London, Wiggins hinted that a postponement of his retirement could be an option.
When asked if he can be persuaded to be back on the bike in 2017, Wiggins said:
"Money talks. I've enjoyed it that much, I just don't know at the moment. I would love to still be part of it in the future. Who wouldn't want to come back, with a week like this and the crowds like this? It's been incredible,” he said according to Cyclingnews.
It is not the first time that Wiggins has backtracked on previous decisions. The five-time Olympic champion announced last year that the 2015 Paris-Roubaix would be his last road race. Nevertheless, his 2016 schedule included 25 race days, including the Tour of California and the Tour of Britain.
