Coquard: We have a very good lead-out in Oman

Time is a key component for any rider bedding into a new team, particularly when it is a sprinter and his lead-out train. Bryan Coquard believes that it is only a matter of time before he and his Vital Concept Club lead-out have it nailed.

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.
