Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins has been forced to pull out of next week's Eneco Tour for family reasons.

The eight-day race was scheduled to be Wiggins' first appearance since the Tour de France but a family bereavement means he will now miss the event which takes place in Holland and Belgium.

Chris Froome steps in to replace Wiggins in a powerful Team Sky line-up which also features defending champion Edvald Boasson Hagen.
