CW's top ten stories of 2009

Cycling Weekly news logo

After Team GB's success at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and Mark Cavendish establishing himself as a sprint force to be reckoned with last year, we thought that 2009 was going to be quiet in comparison.

We are glad to admit that we couldn't have been more wrong. Some of the biggest stories of the year have been British based - the formation of Team Sky; Cavendish's 23 pro wins; and Bradley Wiggins' stunning fourth-place ride at the Tour de France.

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.
