Bradley Wiggins (Sky) gained valuable time over rival Rohan Dennis (Garmin-Sharp) on stage four of the Tour of California, positioning himself on the right side of a split in the bunch during the day's finale.

Dennis started the day 24 seconds behind Wiggins, and ended it 28 seconds in arrears - the four second difference may not seem much, but with both the time trial and queen mountain stage of the race done and dusted every second now matters.

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.
