Wiggins could ride on in 2017 but new Hour bid unlikely (Reuters)

Former Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins wants to keep riding after next year’s Rio Olympics but said he was unlikely to try and extend his Hour record. Wiggins, who became the first Briton to win the Tour in 2012, when he also claimed Olympic time trial gold, initially planned to make Rio the swansong of his career. “I will see how I feel this time next year,” Wiggins was quoted as saying in the Guardian on Wednesday.
