British rider Alex Dowsett was forced to pull out of the Redlands Bicycle Classic (March 25-28) in America on Friday due to injuries sustained in a crash the previous weekend.

Dowsett completed just 30km of the second stage of the Redlands Bicycle Classic in California before withdrawing due to pain. The injuries are a result of a crash in the closing lap in the final criterium stage of last weekend's San Dimas Stage Race (March 19-21), also in California.

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.
