Lawless frustrated with third at Scheldeprijs

What a difference a year makes. Last season, Chris Lawless (Team Sky) had been delighted to make the podium at Scheldeprijs, but on Wednesday he finished frustrated with his third place. Another podium finish, after a tough race against some strong sprinters, was something to be happy about, but the Briton was disappointed he had not been able to convert better form into a better result.

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.
