Wiggins Joins Team Sky

Team Sky have confirmed the signing of triple Olympic gold medalist Bradley Wiggins on a four-year deal

Bradley Wiggins was today confirmed as the final piece of the jigsaw that is the newly formed Team Sky. The signing sees Bradley reunited with Dave Brailsford, the man who masterminded his success on the Track, and on announcing the news to the media, Brailsford was keen to stress Brad will be ‘at home' in Team Sky;

"At Team Sky he can continue to develop, surrounded by some of the coaches and performance experts who have worked with him for years as part of the British Cycling set-up. With his experience he will help us to develop our great young talents too"

In response, Bradley mirrored the Team Principals sentiments;

"I agree with Dave that moving to Team Sky is like coming home. I'll be on a British team with management and coaches who have shaped me as a rider. They are instrumental in my achievements so far and I know they are critical for the next part of my career"

He was also quick to acknowledge the part played by MTC in shaping conditions that were conducive to getting the deal done;

"I've got a fantastic management company behind me who handled the situation which made the move possible...'

With the deal now done, Bradley will be looking forward to spending time with his family over the festive period before meeting up in the New Year to begin preparations for Team Sky's assault on the professional cycling arena!
