Biography

[edit]

Born in Aylesbury, United Kingdom, Wigg started riding at 4 years of age. He progressed through the schoolboy trials ranks and was European Youth Champion in 2004.[1] For 2006 Wigg rode a Gas Gas motorcycle and contested the Youth World Championships and European Junior Championships, emerging as winner of both titles.[2] 2007 saw him finish runner up in the Junior World Championships. For the 2008 season he was again runner-up in the Junior World Championship, and that year also in the Junior European Championship. Wigg finally clinched the Junior World title in 2010, along with the European Title and a win at the famous Scottish Six Days Trial.[3] In 2011 he switched to riding for the Sherco factory team, contesting the FIM Trial World Championship. He hit problems mid-season and in 2012 he went back to riding in the world championships for the Gas Gas factory.[4]
