Strong BMC team for defending Tour de France champ Evans

Cadel Evans attacks, Criterium du Dauphine 2012, stage five

Australian Cadel Evans will be assisted by a BMC Racing team of experience and power in his bid to defend last year's Tour de France title.

BMC Racing announced the nine riders that will take part in this year's Tour, which starts on Saturday June 30, on Tuesday evening. It's arguably the strongest line-up that Evans has had to support him at the Tour thus far.

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.
