The Phynova Six Day London event takes place this week at Lee Valley Velopark, with five-time Olympic Champion and Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins set to take on the role of presenter for Friday evening’s session.
The “sportainment”-based track cycling concept is returning to London for its fourth year, combining world-class racing with music, food, drinks and a party-style atmosphere.
Wiggins will be taking to the mic alongside former British professional cyclist Matt Stephens at the venue where he won the Madison World Championship gold medal in March 2016, returning later that year to race at Six Day London.

Sir Bradley used the 2016 Six Day series as “a lap of honour,” following his decision to retire from racing.
He chose to end his track career at the Ghent Six Day in 2016, inspired by watching his father compete there in the early 1980s.
