Wiggins Update

Team Sky and Brad Wiggins announced on Friday, May 31, that last year's yellow jersey champion will definitely NOT be on the roster for this year's Tour de France.  His illness from the Giro d'Italia, and a lingering knee problem, have prevented him from training as intensely as he would need to in order to be in top form for the Tour.  He was planning to ride the Critérium du Dauphiné and possibly the Tour de Suisse (Tour of Switzerland) in preparation for the TDF, but now will skip those races also in order to rest his knee.  We may see him later in the season at the Vuelta a España and/or the World Championships (time trials).  Best wishes, Sir Brad!
