Jonathan Hivert (Saur - Sojasun) took his first win of the season in the Klasika Primavera, narrowly beating David López (Movistar) and Nick Nuyens (Saxo Bank Sungard) in the sprint.

Nuyens, who recently took out the Tour of Flanders, was active throughout the race and attempted  to create a split on the third category Autzagane.  The peloton however was able to regroup on the descent to the finish. Hivert then managed to overcome the more fancied Nuyens in a close sprint to the line.

Alex Hinds

Alex Hinds, Production Editor

Sydney, Australia

Alex Hinds is a graduate of Economics and Political Science from Sydney University. Growing up in the metropolitan area of the city he quickly became a bike junkie, dabbling in mountain and road riding. Alex raced on the road in his late teens, but with the time demands of work and university proving too much, decided not to further pursue full-time riding.

If he was going to be involved in cycling in another way the media seemed the next best bet and jumped at the opportunity to work in the Sydney office of Cyclingnews when an offer arose in early 2011.

Though the WorldTour is of course a huge point of focus throughout the year, Alex also takes a keen interest in the domestic racing scene with a view to helping foster the careers of the next generation of cycling.

When not writing for Cyclingnews Alex is a strong proponent of the awareness of cyclists on the road in Sydney having had a few close run-ins with city traffic in the past.
