Sir Bradley Wiggins has been confirmed in Team Sky’s cycling squad for the Tour of Poland, which begins on Saturday.
The 33-year-old 2012 Tour de France champion and four-time Olympic champion will make his return at the event, which runs until August 3.
Wiggins withdrew from May’s Giro d’Italia with a knee injury and chest infection which ruled him out of the 100th Tour de France and a possible defence of the yellow jersey, which team-mate Chris Froome inherited in Paris last Sunday.
The Londoner is joined in the Team Sky squad by Britons Luke Rowe and Ben Swift, Colombian duo Sergio Henao and Rigo-berto Uran and American Danny Pate.
The first stage takes place in Italy, with the finish seven days later in Krakow.
