Mixed reactions over 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games road race routes

After the UCI published the road race routes for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games on Thursday, the glaring differences between the men's and women's parcours left the cycling community with mixed reactions on social media channels, and a lot of questions.

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.
