Mick Bennett hoping Bradley Wiggins will close road career at Tour of Britain

Tour of Britain race director Mick Bennett says that having former champion Bradley Wiggins closing out his road career at the Tour of Britain later this year would ‘mean so much’ to the race.

Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports journalism at university before going on to do a Masters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Procycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
