Wiggins heads to Manchester

After last week announcing another stellar field for the track world cup in Manchester, British Cycling has confirmed the attendance of double Olympic gold medallist Bradley Wiggins at the event from 31 October to 2 November at the Manchester Velodrome.

Wiggins won the individual and team pursuit in Beijing, and he's expected to partner pursuit team-mate Geraint Thomas in the Madison. His appearance is sure to enhance interest in the event.
