World time trial champion Tony Martin will continue in the 2012 Tour de France despite fracturing his wrist as a result of a crash on Sunday's opening road stage.

Martin tangled with Garmin-Sharp's Robbie Hunter during stage one from Liege to Seraing, falling heavily on his left side. He was taken to hospital for X-rays at the stage finish to assess the injury, which was diagnosed as a fractured scaphoid bone.

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.
