CYCLING legend Sir Bradly Wiggins will pass through Mole Valley on this year's Tour of Britain.
The 33-year-old Olympic gold medallist will ride with Team Sky on the 96 mile race which passes through Epsom, Leatherhead, East Horsley, Dorking, Holmbury St Mary, Cranleigh and Shere on September 21.
The riders will then continue on to Send, Woking, Ottershaw, Chobham, Knaphill, Normandy, Elstead, Churt, Farnham and finish in Guildford
The race is seen as a great opportunity for the team to thank UK fans for their continued support, taking in stages in Scotland, England and Wales over eight days.
Sir Bradley said: "I'm really looking forward to The Tour of Britain; it's a race I'm fond of and it's nice to see it growing in stature each year.
"The crowds and the roads make it special and it's always very humbling to see the fantastic support that we get from the public.
"I'm coming into the race feeling really good. It finishes in close proximity to the world time trial championships which is my main late-season goal.
"The Tour of Britain is always a tough event and I'm looking forward to getting started."
Fellow British rider Ian Stannard - also of Team Sky - added: "The Tour of Britain has become a massive event in the cycling calendar and I'm really excited to be racing at home.
"There's a real enthusiasm for cycling at the moment - especially following Brad and Froomey's Tour wins and the Olympics - so I'm really looking forward to competing again on British roads.
"We race all over the world but it's always nice to compete in front of your home fans. With such a high-level race in the UK naturally I want to be there."The full Team Sky line-up for the 2013 Tour of Britain will be:
Sir Bradley Wiggins, Great Britain, 33
Josh Edmondson, Great Britain, 21
Bernhard Eisel, Austria, 32
