Dowsett retains Gila sprint jersey

Alex Dowsett, Tour of Oman 2010, stage 6 ITT

Brtiain's Alex Dowsett (Trek-LiveStrong) retained the sprint classification jersey in the Tour of the Gila after Thursday's windswept second stage of the American race.

Dowsett won the sprint jersey after getting in an early break in Wednesday's opening stage of the five-day race held in New Mexico. The 21-year-old took the first intermediate sprint, and then came runner-up in the second to accrue enough points to head the points classification.

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.
