What the inaugural Abu Dhabi Tour may lack in history it certainly makes up for in star riders. The start list for the first running of the four-day race in the United Arab Emirates features a host of Grand Tour winners, top-class sprinters and a world champion or two.

Vincenzo Nibali, Fabio Aru (both Astana), world road race champion Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo), Philippe Gilbert (BMC), Tom Boonen (Etixx-QuickStep), Alejandro Valverde (Movistar), Elia Viviani (Team Sky) and Marcel Kittel (Giant-Alpecin) are among the 108 riders taking part.

Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
