Tour of Britain News: Team Wiggins Get Invite
Team WIGGINS will take part in the Tour of Britain, which gets underway in Carmarthenshire on Sunday 2 September from Pembrey Country Park. The British UCI Continental team have been added to the line-up for Britain’s most prestigious race following the withdrawal of Aqua Blue Sport, and have named a roster featuring some of Britain and Ireland’s hottest talents.
Tom Pidcock
Leading the team will be 19-year-old Tom Pidcock, current Junior World Time Trial Champion and multiple cyclo-cross champion, and 22-year old Gabriel Cullaigh, who won the Rutland-Melton CiCLE Classic this Spring, one of only two single-day UCI-level races in the UK.
Both riders have been in excellent form domestically, each taking an race win during the Tour Series, while Pidcock also claimed victory in the East Klondike GP round of the HSBC UK Spring Cup Series. Irish pairing Matthew Teggart and Mark Downey (both 22) will arrive at the race having competed in the prestigious Tour de l’Avenir for Ireland last week. The latter recorded two top-10 stage finishes, including second on the hilly Stage Six to Cérilly.
Completing the line-up will be 20-year-olds Joey Walker, son of former Milk Race winner Chris, and New Zealander James Fouché, both of whom will be making their debuts in the race. The team have twice before participated in the Tour of Britain, with Owain Doull finishing third overall and winning the Points Classification in 2015.
Commenting on the news, Pidcock said: “I’m delighted to have an opportunity to ride in the Tour of Britain with WIGGINS. Obviously the team has a strong affiliation with the race, with Sir Brad being a former winner and Owain’s impressive ride in 2015. I am really looking forward to mixing it up against some of the big UCI WorldTour teams again. Riding in front of British fans is always a great experience and hopefully our team can give them plenty to cheer about over the course of the race.”
