By Matt Lawton Follow @@Matt_Lawton_DM A ‘lack of trust’ in his relationship with Chris Froome has been cited as the reason why Sir Bradley Wiggins will not be on the start line in Yorkshire for this year’s Tour de France. While Team Sky insisted on Friday that a final decision on team selection would not be made until the end of this month, Wiggins broke ranks to say he was ‘gutted’ not to be riding. He will not be alone, with British cycling now faced with losing its biggest star for the three days the Tour will be here in the UK next month. Losing its biggest star when he happens to be in top form, having recently won the Tour of California.

It would be wrong to portray @placeholder too much as the victim here because there has been a degree of stubbornness on both sides in resolving the situation.
