Wiggins is the equivelent of a sub goalkeeper. Well paid to not do a great deal. Dont blame him for running down contract with sky
Chris Froome extends with Sky - but Sir Bradley Wiggins on the way out?

It is crisis in (road) cycling.
Look at all the riders that had a hard time finding a pro-team (if they found one at all)
If Wiggo still has a contract for 1 year, it might just be that Sky is waiting to see what his result(s) will be this year.
If it ain't good they can put a new contract before him with a lot less money on it.
Of course, if he does show flash(es) of his 2012 year, they'll have to pay him more to keep him, but still.. I would understand Sky's way of thinking (if my assumptions would be right)
And since he ain't the youngest either anymore, Sky might just not even be very interested in keeping him all together either and use the money to get a young prospect (e.g. someone like Kelderman, Kwiatkowski, Talansky,...)

Why is there discussion on Wiggins future with Sky? We all know he can change like the wind 
, but he stated quite clearly last summer that 2014 would be his last year on the road and he would be concentrating on the track afterwards? So thats why there's no contract extension... at least for the moment. Google it...

Not too old for track, plenty of good track riders are still good deep into the 30's. So long as they keep the basic speed. Take the climbs away and everything is different.

I think he is going in to finish his days off .... on the track ...
Why should he need to ride the grand tours for longer than he needs to ..
He has made some serious money..... and he has made it perfectly clear
he does nt like being away from his kids ...Be good to see if he"s still got his passion
when/if he returns to the track .
