Sky boss: Duo can be on team

Sir Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome could “absolutely” line up alongside each other when the Tour de France starts in Yorkshire next year, according to Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford.

It seemed the relationship between the two Tour winners had broken down completely during the build-up to this year’s race, when Wiggins appeared to go back on a previous promise to support Froome’s bid for glory in favour of targeting victory himself.
