(Reuters) - Team Sky have announced that Tour de France champion Chris Froome and 2012 winner Bradley Wiggins will race in different warm-up events ahead of this year's race, which begins in Yorkshire next month.

The pair have a frosty relationship, and recent speculation has suggested that Wiggins, who was unable to defend his crown last year due to injury, may fail to make Sky's Tour de France squad despite the 34-year-old saying he was happy to play second-fiddle.
