Wiggins, the 2012 Tour champion, missed this year's race - won by compatriot and team mate Chris Froome - after quitting May's Giro d'Italia with a knee injury and chest infection.

The 33-year-old is part of Team Sky's six-man squad for the Polish race which starts in Trentino in Italy on Saturday and ends in Krakow on August 3.
