Bradley Wiggins says he is ready to work for Ian Stannard at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Saturday, as the 2012 Tour de France winner continues his build-up to Paris-Roubaix in April.

As defending champion, Stannard looks likely to lead the team at the first cobbled race of the year, but Wiggins aims to be in the mix in the finale in Belgium.
