TOUR de France and Olympic time trial champion Bradley Wiggins will make his return to competitive action in Suffolk next month - and this is where you will be able to see him and other riders on the Tour of Britain.

Wiggins has announced he will compete in next month’s Tour of Britain - the first stage of which starts in Ipswich on September 9.

The race heads out to Woodbridge, Snape, Aldeburgh, Leiston, Blythburgh, Southwold and Lowestoft, before heading into Norfolk.

The 32-year-old has been given extra time off by Team Sky following his hugely successful summer and is not participating in the Tour of Denmark next week.

His return to competitive action is now set to come on home soil in the eight-stage event.

Wiggins made the announcement as he launched the inaugural ‘Ride with Brad’ mass participation public cycling event in Barnoldswick, Lancashire.

When asked what his next plans were, Wiggins said: “I’m doing the Tour of Britain now.

“It’ll be nice. I’ll try to stay fit between now and then so I don’t embarrass myself! It’ll be good.”

Huge crowds will want to watch Wiggins et al in action – and this is where you can see them on stage one of the Tour of Britain:
