(Reuters) - Olympic cycling champion Bradley Wiggins plans to concentrate on the team pursuit event in the velodrome and will not ride in any road races at the Commonwealth Games starting in Glasgow on Thursday.

The 34-year-old, winner of the 2012 Tour de France weeks before taking gold in the London Olympic time trial, said on Monday he was tempted to take part in a wider range of races but wanted to focus on the track in preparation for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
