Chris Froome (Sky) has jumped up to sixth in the latest Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) WorldTour ranking after winning the Tour de Romandie on Sunday.

The British rider won the opening prologue of the race and successfully defended his race lead throughout the Swiss event. The win - along with points gathered from placing second at Tirreno-Adriatico - means that Froome now has 198 points. Froome's wins in the Tour of Oman and Criterium International are not counted as these are not WorldTour events.

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.
