British riders dominated the qualifying rounds of the downhill discplines at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships, currently taking place at Fort William in Scotland.

Rachel Atherton and Tracy Moseley qualified first and second fastest in the women's elite event, with Richard Cunningham qualifying fastest in the junior men and Gee Atherton taking second spot in the elite men. British hope Steve Peat qualified in a cautious - and hopefully not unlucky -13th despite recently dislocating his foot.

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.
