Cycling-Wiggins impresses as he gets back in track groove (Reuters)
By Martyn Herman LONDON, March 2 (Reuters) – Bradley Wiggins was straight back in the groove as he helped propel host nation Britain’s team pursuit squad into first place in qualifying at the world track championships on Wednesday. The 36-year-old former Tour de France winner has returned to his velodrome roots for what he hopes will be a golden swansong at the Rio Olympics in August but needs to convince the selectors he still has the track speed. Wiggins said on Tuesday he believed the hosts could break the world record in Thursday’s final, set by Britain on the same track at the London 2012 Olympics when Wiggins, fresh from his Tour victory, won road time trial gold.
