Three bronze medals for young British team at final Track World Cup

Jon Dibben, Track World Cup, Manchester, day two

published 20 January 2014

Great Britain's youthful squad came away from the final round of the UCI Track World Cup in Guadalajara, Mexico, with a trio of bronze medals.

With world championships qualification points already secured from the previous rounds, British Cycling elected to take a young team to Mexico in order for them to gain valuable experience at the World Cup event.

Great Britain's men's team pursuit quartet of Jonathan Dibben, Jacob Ragan, Chris Latham and Oliver Wood failed to make the finals after qualifying in 13th spot. The result masks the fact that Ragan, Latham and Wood all made their World Cup debut at the event - and had to cope with the absence of experienced hand Andy Tennant, who was forced to withdraw from the event with illness. Dibben went on to finish just outside the medals in the men's omnium in fourth.

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.
