Sir Bradley Wiggins will start Italy's Giro del Trentino stage race today with one eye on making the Tour de France team. He explained that he hopes to race to make Sky's team selection to support Chris Froome in July.

"I'll do everything possible to try to be there," Wiggins said, "but it is Chris's team and he'll have lot of say on who's around him and in front of him in the mountains."
