Norwegian Alexander Kristoff took his 20th victory of the 2015 season on Sunday, winning the GP Plouay in France, and propelling his Katusha team to the top of the UCI WorldTour rankings, unseating British squad Sky.

Kristoff took the win ahead of Simone Ponzi (Southeast) in second and Ramunas Navardauskas (Cannondale-Garmin) in third. His 80 points for winning Plouay mean that Kristoff moves from fifth to fourth in the individual WorldTour ranking. Kristoff's most notable 2015 WorldTour victory was the Tour of Flanders in April, and he has also won stages of Paris-Nice and the Tour de Suisse.

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.
