Emma Pooley has announced that she will retire from professional cycling after the Commonwealth Games road race on Sunday, August 3.

After competing one final time for England on Sunday, the 31-year-old will switch disciplines to triathlon and running. Pooley won the Lausanne Marathon in Switzerland last year, and her time of 2-44-29 was in the top 20 fastest times posted by any British woman that season.

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.
