Amstel Gold Race Women - Preview

After a 14-year hiatus, the Amstel Gold Race for women is back on the calendar and to plenty of fanfare. The original edition ran for just three years with Nicole Cooke winning the last in 2003. However, with the continuing rise of women’s cycling, the organisers will be hoping that they’re in for the long haul this time around. The introduction of a first ever women’s Liege-Bastogne-Liege and the 20th edition of La Flèche Wallonne Feminine means that fans and riders will get a full Ardennes programme to enjoy.

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.
