Hammond's bike stolen in Belgium

Roger Hammond has had his bike stolen just days before he is due to ride the Tour of Flanders (Sunday, April 5).
The British Cervelo Test Team professional left his bike against a wall whilst out on a training ride in Belgium, only to turn around and discover that it was missing, according to Belgian news website www.nieuwsblad.be.
The Cervelo bike is valued at ?10,000 (just over £9,000).
Hammond is hoping that the thief realises that he has stolen an important bike and returns it promptly.
Hammond took his first professional win in three years when he won a stage of the Tour of Qatar in February, and is hoping to achieve success in this year's spring classics.

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.
