There were a few notable non-starters in the event, which reduced the field to just 34 riders. Last year's runner-up and pre-race favourite for another medal, Ed Bradbury was absent, as were Team GB track pursuiters Owain Doull and Steven Burke. George Atkins, Mark Christian and Dan McLay were also listed as non-starters.
Dowsett is currently on Movistar's long list for the Tour de France, where he is hoping to be picked for the final nine riders and contest the race's time trial stages in the jersey of British national champion.
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.
