Dan Martin Q&A: 'I feel reinvented'

After eight years in the Slipstream sports set-up, Dan Martin is about to embark on a new adventure with the Etixx-QuickStep team. The last two seasons have been tough for Martin with crashes at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Vuelta a España, but he’s ready to bounce back in his new team.

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.
