Team Sky has regained top position in the Union Cycliste International WorldTour ranking after Chris Froome's victory in the Critérium du Dauphiné on Sunday.

Etixx-QuickStep had occupied the top slot after the spring classics, but Froome's overall win and two stage victories in the eight-day French stage race has propelled the British team back to the head of the WorldTour. Katusha now sits in second, with Etixx in third.

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.
