A season of 'near misses' for Cannondale-Drapac, says Wegelius

Cannondale-Drapac began the 2016 season with some big signings and some big ambitions. However, illness, crashes, injury and some struggles off the bike saw them miss the mark in the early part of the season and left them languishing near the bottom of the WorldTour rankings until a strong Vuelta a España pulled them into the top 10 by the end of the season.

Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports journalism at university before going on to do a Masters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Procycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
