British riders Luke Rowe (Sky) and Simon Yates (Orica-GreenEdge) have entered the 2015 UCI WorldTour ranking after both riders enjoyed top 10 success at the weekend.

Rowe placed a highly-creditable eighth place in Paris-Roubaix in France on Sunday, widely recognised as one of the toughest single-day races on the calendar. Rowe came home just behind the lead group containing race winner John Degenkolb (Giant-Alpecin) and enters the ranking in 52nd spot.

Nigel Wynn
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.
