Drops target top 20 in the rankings for 2017

The Drops Cycling Team made their racing debut this year with the ambition of being one of the top amateur teams in the elite ranks. The 2016 season exceeded their expectations with rides at the Tour of Flanders, the Women's Tour and the Tour of California as well as several other WorldTour races.

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.
