Edvald Boasson Hagen (Sky) continued his solid season with a win at the Vattenfall Cyclassic in Hamburg, Germany, on Sunday. The Norwegian sprinted ahead of German Gerald Ciolek (Quick Step) to take the win, with Borut Bozic (Vacansoleil) claiming third.

Boasson Hagen's win in the one-day WorldTour race has moved him up to eighth in the Union Cycliste Internationale's latest WorldTour Ranking, published on Monday afternoon. Boasson Hagen won the Eneco Tour overall last week, and won two stages of the Tour de France in July.

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.
