Bradley Wiggins successfully defended his pursuit world title tonight in Manchester, beating surprise package Jenning Huizenga to the gold medal.

It is Wiggins' third world title in this discipline and confirms his status as the world's number one pursuiter. Huizenga, who qualified faster than Wiggins in this afternoon's session, started faster, but by the end of the first kilometre Wiggins was back in control.

Editor of Cycling Weekly magazine, Simon has been working at the title since 2001. He first fell in love with cycling in 1989 when watching the Tour de France on Channel 4, started racing in 1995 and in 2000 he spent one season racing in Belgium. During his time at CW (and Cycle Sport magazine) he has written product reviews, fitness features, pro interviews, race coverage and news. He has covered the Tour de France more times than he can remember along with the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games and many other international and UK domestic races. He became the 134-year-old magazine's 13th editor in 2015 and can still be seen riding bikes around the lanes of Surrey, Sussex and Kent. Albeit a bit slower than before.
