Victoria Pendleton, EDF Energy

Olympic track sprint champion Victoria Pendleton appears wrapped in blue cable for a new promotional photograph produced by EDF Energy.

Pendleton appears swathed in cable, which snakes off to join up with the London 2012 Olympic stadium to highlight EDF's involvement as official energy supplier to the Games.

Pendleton is a long-term ambassador for 'Team Green Britain', an intitiative created by EDF to highlight renewable energy sources. She has also fronted high-profile campaigns for Hovis and launched a range of bikes via Halfords.

The rider from Hertfordshire is the reigning women's Olympic sprint champion and current sprint world champion. She is looking to score gold in the London 2012 Games in the sprint, team sprint and keirin events.

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.
