Oss aiming for return to Italian team at World Championships

Places in the Italian national team at the World Championships are notoriously difficult to come by. One of cycling’s homelands; the country is often falling over its self with riders to pick from. This year’s road race route contains two challenging cobblestone sections and Daniel Oss (BMC Racing) hopes that his skills on the pavé could be enough to earn him a spot in the team for the first time since 2011.

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.
