Ben Swift on podium again in Mallorca
Team Sky sprinter Ben Swift places third behind Gianni Meersman on final day of Mallorca Challenge

Ben Swift, Mallorca Challenge 2014

British sprinter Ben Swift rounded off his Mallorca Challenge appearance with a third place on the final day of racing, the Trofeo Alcudia.
The Team Sky man from Rotherham placed second on day two of the race series, seemingly putting the lingering shoulder injury that blighted his 2013 season behind him.
Gianni Meersman (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) took the race win ahead of Francisco Ventoso (Movistar) and Swift after a hilly day of racing over 162 kilometres.

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.
