Deignan hoping to hone form at Tour de Langkawi

After completing the Tour of Oman, Philip Deignan will continue his early season Asian adventure at the Tour de Langkawi next month. The Team Sky rider hopes that the eight-day race will help him find his form, which he says is not yet where he wants it to be, ahead of the crucial European races later in the spring.

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.
