Cavendish & Wiggins To Team Up For Six Day London

24 May 2016 04:01

Mark Cavendish and Sir Bradley Wiggins have said that they will be competing in the Six Day London event in October.

The pair won a gold medal in the Madison race at the World Championships and will be looking for something from the event at the Lee Valley Velo Park.

Wiggins is quoted by a number of media outlets as saying: "It's going to be great. This has got to be the double act everyone wants to see isn't it?

"Winning the Madison at the Worlds was incredible and this might well be the last chance that people get to see us together.

"I was gutted not to be able to ride it last year, but this year the timing just fits so I'm hoping it will be a great way to celebrate a successful fifth Olympic Games, back in London."

Mark Cavendish added: "One of the first things I said to Brad after we won the Madison on the track in London was 'we have to do London Six Day together'.

"The Six Day experience is something else - the atmosphere will be right up there with the World Championships, the music's loud and the racing is brutal. It'll be great to team up with Brad again and we'll be going for the win."
