Great Britain's Christopher Froome made clear on Wednesday that he has no intention of ever again playing second fiddle to compatriot and Sky teammate Bradley Wiggins in the Tour de France.

Team Sky Procycling earlier today announced that defending Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins won't participate in the 2013 centennial Tour de France.

Women's cycling is dissed and Chris Froome might be pissed.

If you make a mistake, own it and move on.

The only way to move forward is to acknowledge the past.

Team Sky Procycling's Bradley Wiggins is convinced Lance Armstrong doped when the American returned to professional cycling in 2009 and claims he was robbed of finishing on the podium in the Tour de France that year.

The opening salvos of the 2013 Tour de France have already begun.

Team Sky Procycling's Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins is recovering in a hospital today after being hit by a car while riding his bike in northern England.

Members of the British cycling team Sky will be sacked unless they sign a document saying they have never doped, the team said in a statement to the press.

Already the Tour de France looks to have a winner, but there are still some scraps at the table for the others.
