Boels Dolmans end dominant season with team time trial world title

Boels-Dolmans beat the heat to claim their first team time trial world title, capping off what has been a hugely dominant 2016 season. The Dutch squad has been streets ahead of the other women's teams, winning 10 of the 17 WorldTour races, including the Crescent Vårgårda team time trial in August.

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.
