Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford hopes that British Tour de France winners Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome will ride together in next year's race.

Sir Dave Brailsford has not ruled out the possibility of Tour de France winners Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome riding together for Team Sky in next year's race.

Froome won the 100th edition of the event on Sunday, a year after Wiggins became the first British man to ever win the prestigious yellow jersey.

"I'd love to do it. I'd absolutely love to," Brailsford told reporters. "I don't spend a nanosecond worrying about whether they got on or not.

"People talk about having team unity and team harmony. I don't buy that at all. Most of the best teams I've been with, they're not harmonious environments.

"This is not a harmonious environment. This is a gritty environment where people are pushing really hard. What you need is goal harmony, and there's a big difference between the two."

Brailsford, who was knighted in the 2013 New Year Honours, is Team Sky general manager and was the performance director of British Cycling during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
