Edvald Boasson Hagen will miss Saturday's Belgian season opener Omloop Het Nieuwsblad due to illness. He will be replaced in Sky's line-up by Australian Chris Sutton.

Boasson Hagen came down with a cold after racing in the Tour of the Algarve last week, where the Norwegian scored a stage win. Sky went on to win the race overall with Richie Porte, with Bradley Wiggins winning the final time trial stage.

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.
