Last updated : 08 January 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Sir Bradley Wiggins has confirmed that his attempt at the World Hour Record will be held in London.

Mallorca has been cited as a venue but Wiggins will use the Olympic Park velodrome in London for his attempt in June.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Wiggins said: It’s great for cycling and to be able to do something like that, in London, on the Olympic velodrome, which is where I want to do it. It would have to be really.

“Again, the next 12-year-old might come along that may be inspired by watching the hour record like I was inspired watching Chris Boardman win the gold in Barcelona. It’s a great opportunity.

"The plan is to do it in June. It has had a bit of a resurrection in the last couple of months with a few guys going for it, and the whole world is talking about it again now, and rightly so because it is such an historic record.”
