FOUR-TIME Olympic champion and 2012 Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins has confirmed he is targeting Commonwealth Games glory in Glasgow.

Wiggins is seeking one of the few titles to elude him in his distinguished career, with the road time-trial likely to be his main aim despite coming just a few days after the conclusion of the Tour de France.

‘‘It’s a nice thing to have within the UK,’’ the 33-yearold, who is likely to ride in a support role to defending champion Chris Froome at the Tour, told Cycling News.

‘‘I haven’t got a gold medal from the Commonwealths, so it would be nice to add that on. And It’s a couple of days after the Tour, so for the sake of carrying on for a few more days and doing it.

‘‘I forgot about the Commonwealths.

I’m glad you reminded me, because I’ve got to fill a form in otherwise I can’t ride it.’’ Wiggins also plans to ride the year’s third Grand Tour, the Vuelta a Espana, in preparation for a tilt at the Road World Championships timetrial title.

Meanwhile, Great Britain’s cyclists will bid to overcome the elements and the opposition at the Track World Championships in Cali, Colombia this week in a bid to prove their ongoing dominance of the velodrome.

The Velodromo Alcides Nieto Patino has a roof, but few walls and yesterday’s torrential rain disrupted training sessions prior to today’s start of the championships as the wooden track was soaked.

More rain is forecast.

After a season in which times have plummeted in many events at Track World Cup rounds at altitude in Mexico, the end-of-term finale is likely to be slower as two-time Olympic champion and four-time world champion Laura Trott explains ahead of the women’s team pursuit tomorrow.

She said: ‘‘It’s got a roof, but the sides are open, so it’s really windy. I don’t think the track’s going to be anywhere near as fast as Mexico, where the girls broke the record. I don’t think the world record will go.’’
