Emma Pooley and Nicole Cooke head up a strong British contingent at La Fleche Wallonne Femmes in Belgium on Wednesday.

Both are former winners of the UCI World Cup race, which takes place before the men's WorldTour event on the same day. Pooley (AA Drink-Leontien.nl) won in 2010, and Cooke (Faren Honda) scored a trio of wins in 2003, 2005 and 2006. Cooke was second in 2010 behind Pooley and fifth last year.

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.
