Bradley Wiggins has withdrawn from the Eneco Tour for personal reasons.

The Team Sky rider was due to make his first outing since the Tour de France, but will miss out after a family bereavement.

Wiggins has been replaced by Chris Froome for the eight-day race through Holland and Belgium which begins on Tuesday.

Defending champion Edvald Boasson Hagen will lead the team, which also features Britain's Geraint Thomas.

Wiggins is expected to race at the British National Time Trial Championships in Wales on September 5, before turning his focus to the Tour of Britain a week later.
