This August, Bradley Wiggins will be present at RideLondon. After the Tour de Yorkshire, his team WIGGINS will race his second road race but for the former Tour de France winner will also be his first competitive appearance since breaking the Hour Record.

"Itís always fantastic to race on home roads and this race is very special. My team is really looking forward to it. I was amazed how many people were out watching last year in that appalling weather. The whole Prudential RideLondon festival shows how much cycling has grown in this country", Wiggins explained.

Race director Mick Bennett explained that Wiggins is a great star in United Kingdom. "Every race wants Wiggins. He now has rock star status and generates massive excitement wherever he races. We expect hundreds of thousands of spectators to line the route to cheer him on. His team is packed with great athletes likely to feature in the Team Pursuit in the Rio Games next year and they should perform well in a race of this nature."
