LONDON — Four-time Olympic champion and former Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins is launching his own professional cycling team with the aim of providing more British gold in Rio. Wiggins, who will continue to ride for Team Sky until April's Paris Roubaix road classic before concentrating on his own Rio 2016 Olympic preparations, will head up the team comprising young home-grown riders. The team, which will operate independently of British Cycling and focus on both road and track disciplines, will be called WIGGINS and will receive financial backing from Sky. Wiggins will revert to the track in Rio where he will concentrate on the team pursuit. – Reuters
