Olympic champion Sir Bradley Wiggins is aiming to reiterate his status as one of the most accomplished all-round talents in cycling in the Road World Championships time-trial in Italy on Wednesday.
After completing victory in the Tour of Britain on Sunday in a result secured by a devastating time-trial display, the Londoner will ride for the rainbow jersey of world champion in the 58-kilometre course through Tuscany.
To triumph Wiggins, who became Britain’s first Tour de France champion and Olympic time-trial champion within 10 days in 2012, must finish ahead of one of the most competitive fields assembled for the race of truth — the rider against the clock.
Two-time defending champion Tony Martin of Germany, four-time world champion Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland and Taylor Phinney of the US are expected to be Wiggins’s main challengers.
