Sir Bradley Wiggins explains why he set up his eponymous team, WIGGINS.

From becoming the first Briton to win the Tour de France to breaking the UCI Hour Record and winning eight Olympic medals, Sir Bradley Wiggins has enjoyed an illustrious career.

But as well as memories, Wiggins also wants to leave behind a legacy: to inspire future generations of young British cyclists.

Key to this has been setting up his own team, WIGGINS. The team includes riders such as Owain Doull, Steven Burke and Andy Tennant, some of whom have become Olympic gold medallists.

In a new video, Wiggins explains what he and the team are trying to achieve.

He says: "Setting up Team WIGGINS was kind of the start of [setting up a longer lasting legacy] really. It was just about inspiring and helping develop young British talent that will go onto bigger things."
