Defending Tour Series champions JLT Condor got their 2017 campaign off to a perfect start, winning the opening races of the series in Redditch on Tuesday.

The series kicked off with a team time trial event in the afternoon. JLT Condor's five-man squad of Ed Clancy, Jon Mould, Alex Frame, Ian Bibby and Breton Jones set the quickest time of 3-49 on the technical course, during which teams had to use regular bikes rather than time-trial-specific machines.

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.
