In 2016, Wiggins rode with sprint star Cavendish at the London Six Day.

The duo boasted a Tour de France and 14 Olympic, World and European titles between them.

Cavendish and Wiggins battled with Belgian track pairing Moreno De Pauw and Kenny De Ketele.

Wiggins and Cavendish broke into the lead on the final day of racing but the Belgians came back to take the crown on the last night.

But the tables were turned at the Gent Six Day when the home pairing of De Pauw and De Ketele were bested by the British duo.

Wiggins announced his retirement from cycling later that year.
