Sir Bradley Wiggins confirms he will leave Team Sky in April

Sir Bradley Wiggins says that he will leave Team Sky at the end of April after one last crack at the Paris-Roubaix.

Sir Bradley Wiggins has confirmed that he will leave Team Sky at the end of April, after signing one last contract.

The current Olympic champion and former Tour de France winner has signed a short deal in order to attempt to win the Paris-Roubaix, before he switches his attention to his own road team.

Wiggins said in a statement: "Paris-Roubaix is a special race for me and I'm determined to give it another go in Team Sky colours.

"It's one of the toughest races in the calendar and my aim is to improve on my ninth place finish last year. After that I can fully focus on preparing for the Rio Olympics in 2016."

Wiggins joined Team Sky in 2010.
