Wiggins won gold, silver and bronze at the Athens Games in August

Olympic cycling hero Bradley Wiggins is still deciding whether to pursue a career in road racing.

The track pursuit specialist ultimately wants two more Olympic gold medals but has also been tipped to star in Tour de France time trials.

"It's certainly something that appeals to me, but I've not made any firm decisions yet about what I want to do.

"All I know is that in four years I want to defend my Olympic title," Wiggins told BBC Sport.

Wiggins became Britain's most successful Olympian at a single Games for 40 years when he won individual pursuit gold, team pursuit silver and Madison bronze in Athens.

The Credit Agricole team member then competed on the road in the Tour of Britain in September.

Boardman hails Wiggins

Former Olympic champion Chris Boardman believes Wiggins could transfer his skills to good effect on the road.

But Wiggins says the course for the prologue time trial at next year's Tour de France does not suit him.

The 24-year-old, who is due to become a father for the first time in April, must also decide if he wants to commit himself to the rigours of the road schedule.

"Cycling is a funny sport and there is so much I can do, but it's got to come from me and the drive has got to be there," he said.

My long-term plan is to win three gold medals on the trot Bradley Wiggins

"I don't know if I've got what it takes to be on the continent every day of the year. I still haven't thought about that.

"The thing that has always driven me was winning Olympic gold. I thought it would disappear after I had done it once, but the desire is still there to win another one, and then another one hopefully.

"My long-term plan is to win three on the trot. That would be finishing at 32 in 2012 as three-times Olympic champion. That's my ultimate goal."

Wiggins admits he has hardly been near a bike for six weeks as he comes to terms with life as an Olympic champion.

"I've got to sit down and do a four-year plan pretty soon. I've given myself a bit more time," he said.

"We are only in October and the cycling season does not kick off until March. I don't have to start making any plans in stone until this time next month."
