Team Sky has named Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas and Mikel Landa as part of its eight-man team for the Volta a Catalunya in Spain over March 20-26.

The three Grand Tour contenders will be using the race for different reasons. Triple Tour de France winner Froome makes his first European race appearance after a block of training as he starts his 2017 Tour preparations, while Welshman Thomas and Spaniard Landa continue their build-up to being joint Sky leaders at the Giro d'Italia in May fresh from Tirreno-Adriatico, which finished on Tuesday.

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.
