Sir Bradley Wiggins says that the branding on the Glasgow 2014 velodrome should be taken down, so that spectators can recognise that it is named after Sir Chris Hoy.

Sir Bradley Wiggins has said that Sir Chris Hoy's name should be more prominent on the Glasgow 2014 velodrome.

Emirates branding currently covers part of the lettering on the outside of the velodrome which informs spectators who it is named after, and Wiggins told the Daily Mail that 'something should be done about it'.

He said: "It is a bit odd. I'd be a bit pissed off if I were him because they've stuck a great big Emirates sign over his name and it doesn't stand out that it's the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome other than a little thing as you walk in. It's more like a shopping sign with an Emirates thing on it.

"I think there should be more made for him. Stick a whopping great statue outside because it doesn't hit you straight away that it's his velodrome. I think he got done over a bit.

"But he won't complain because he's far too nice. So I'll complain for him. They should do something about it."

Hoy is the most successful Olympic cyclist of all time with six gold medals.
