Garmin at the Giro: And then there were five

David Millar Garmin Slipstream 2009 Giro stage one TTT

published 27 May 2009

Just five of the original nine riders remain in Garmin-Slipstream's Giro d'Italia squad. The American team has now lost the most riders out of the 22 teams in attendance.

The Garmin squad arrived in Venice on Saturday May 9 with high hopes of early success in this year's Giro. After winning the opening team time trial in last year's race and putting Christian Vande Velde in the pink jersey, the squad had hoped to at least repeat the feat.

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.
