Cyclingnews announced today that Jackie Tyson has joined the editorial team as online production editor for North America. Tyson founded the sports marketing and public relations firm Peloton Sports in 1998, managing projects for elite and professional cycling clients, including Tour de Georgia, USA Cycling Inc. and Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah.

“This is an exciting opportunity to return to the editorial side of pro sports. I have worked alongside Cyclingnews writers, photographers and editors on a number of races and projects since 2005, and I look forward to contributing directly as a member of the global team,” said Tyson.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
