Cadel Evans (BMC Racing Team) has moved into the lead in the Union Cycliste Internationale's latest World Ranking, published on Monday, after a strong performance at the Giro d'Italia and the suspension of former number one, Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne).

The Court for Arbitration in Sport (CAS) announced on Monday that Valverde has been banned from competing for two years for the use of banned blood-booster EPO, back-dated to 1 January 2010, rendering all of his results void for this season.

Nigel Wynn
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.
