Sir Bradley Wiggins will team up with Mark Cavendish at the Six Day London track cycling event this autumn.

The pair claimed Madison gold together at this year's UCI Track Cycling World Championships and will resume their partnership at the Lee Valley VeloPark from October 25-30.

Six Day London sees teams of two compete in a variety of races over six consecutive evenings.

Wiggins, who is aiming to win team pursuit gold at this summer's Olympic Games, said: "It's going to be great. This has got to be the double act everyone wants to see.

"Winning the Madison at the worlds was incredible and this might well be the last chance that people get to see us together.

"I was gutted not to be able to ride it last year, but this year the timing just fits, so I'm hoping it will be a great way to celebrate a successful fifth Olympic Games, back in London."

Cavendish, the world road race champion from 2011 and a 26-time stage winner at the Tour de France, added: "One of the first things I said to Brad after we won the Madison was, 'We have to do London Six Day together'.

"The Six Day experience is something else. The atmosphere will be right up there with the World Championships; the music is loud and the racing is brutal. It'll be great to team up with Brad again and we'll be going for the win."
