Wiggins wants big 2008

Bradley Wiggins wants to move to a whole new level in 2008, with the Briton hoping his move from French ProTour team Cofidis to German outfit T-Mobile will be the catalyst for a successful season. The Olympic champion was announced on the magenta squad's roster last Friday, where he will join American George Hincapie under the guidance of doping crusader Bob Stapleton. "It will be a big change, the first time I've gone to a multicultural, English-speaking team," Wiggins said in his Sunday's Observer column. "I'll be joining two other British guys, Mark Cavendish and Roger Hammond, which is something to look forward to."

While Wiggins described 2007 as one of his best seasons on the road, he's hoping that success at the Beijing Olympics Games as well as the Tour de France. "I'll be back at the Tour in 2009 for sure," said Wiggins. "Next year, however, I have to think about the Olympic Games."
