Bradley Wiggins has extended his contract with Team Sky and will ride with the British team until Paris-Roubaix in April. In the second half of the year, he will turn his attention to the track.

Bradley Wiggins has signed a contract extension that will see him ride with Team Sky up to and including Paris-Roubaix 2015.
 
Wiggins joined Team Sky for its inaugural season in 2010 and created history with the team in 2012 when he became the first British rider to win the Tour de France.
 
During his time with Team Sky he has claimed 23 victories and has amassed one of the most impressive records in the sport. In 2013 he was knighted for his services to cycling.
 
The new deal extends his contract with Team Sky until the end of April 2015, taking him into his sixth season with the team. He will then focus on preparing for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
 
On signing a contract extension with Team Sky, Sir Bradley Wiggins said: "Everyone knows what this team means to me so I¹m really pleased to extend my contract until the end of April 2015. I¹ve been with Team Sky from the start. I¹ve had some amazing experiences during that time and I hope there are a few more to come. Sky¹s investment in cycling, and this team in particular, has helped change the cycling landscape in the UK and I¹m proud to have played a part in that story.
 
"Paris-Roubaix is a special race for me and I¹m determined to give it another go in Team Sky colours. It¹s one of the toughest races in the calendar and my aim is to improve on my ninth-place finish last year. After that I can focus fully on preparing for the Rio Olympics in 2016."
 
Team Principal Sir Dave Brailsford said: "We¹re delighted that Bradley¹s extended his contract with Team Sky into 2015. He¹s been with Team Sky since the beginning and during that time he¹s been an incredible ambassador for cycling and an inspiration to millions of people around the world.
 
"Rightly he still has big ambitions for the future and everyone at Team Sky will work their hardest to make his final chapter with us a successful one over the next few months."
 

After Paris-Roubaix, Wiggins is expected to focus on his Hour Record Attempt in June before he will join his own Team Wiggins in the mid-season transfer window.
