PARIS (Reuters) - Bradley Wiggins has ruled himself out of participating in the Tour de France after the 2012 champion hinted that Team Sky are unlikely to select him in their squad, the Briton said on Friday.

"Right now, I think I can tell you that I will not ride the Tour de France," Wiggins told France sports daily L'Equipe after he was overlooked for the Dauphine Librere, a key Tour warmup event in southeastern France.
