Olympic gold medallist and Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins is taken out of Team Sky's lineup for the Tour of Denmark, despite originally being scheduled to compete.

British Olympic medallist Bradley Wiggins has been withdrawn from Team Sky's lineup for the Tour of Denmark.

The 32-year-old, who won the Tour de France and an Olympic gold medal in the time-trial within a two-week period, was originally added to the eight-man team.

While Wiggins was expected to be a part of the Tour, Team Sky have decided to give the cyclist extra time off to recover from his recent triumphs.

The five-day race is due to get underway next week.
