Wiggins glad to be back in saddle

Bradley Wiggins admitted it was good to get back on his bike after a “big summer” – despite coming off again along with Mark Cavendish in a dramatic end to the first stage of the Tour of Britain as fellow Team Sky racer Luke Rowe claimed his first professional win in Norwich.

Tour de France champion and Olympic time trial gold medalist Wiggins was one of several riders involved in collisions as the peloton swept into the narrow lanes on the final leg of the 120 kilometres course at the Royal Norfolk Showground.
