Wiggins, who in Beijing added individual and team pursuit golds to the gold and silver he won in those events in Athens four years previously, will be competing for Garmin-Chipotle next summer - but has left the door open to join up with Team GB should that dream become a reality.

"They are in the early stages of putting that together and it would be phenomenal if it does. We have got the talent so it is definitely likely now," said Wiggins.

"You need the right team - and a sponsor who is going to put up £8million a year, and they appear to have that. I don't know who it is yet but Sky have come on board and made a big commitment.

"And if a company like Sky gets involved with British cycling then a lot of others will as well.

"We already have the back-up team with (GB performance director) Dave Brailsford, who has put this whole thing together for British cycling, and (head coach) Shane Sutton.

"Then of course you need the riders and there are enough of us out there."
