PROFESSIONAL cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins swapped bike for boat as he caught the ferry from Southampton.

The Olympic gold medalist could be seen on board Red Funnel’s Red Eagle, travelling to the Isle of Wight.

He was on his way to lead a weekend of cycling and haute cuisine, as part of this year’s Le Blanq.

The event, led by the Tour De France and five times Olympic winner, saw a group of cyclists head out across the island.

Their efforts were rewarded with fine dining, overseen by Michelin-starred chef Claude Bosi.
