Pieters hopes Dwars door Vlaanderen win is sign of good things to come

If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again. After knocking on the door of victory in recent months, Amy Pieters finally scored her first win in Wiggle-High5 colours when she claimed her third consecutive Dwars door Vlaanderen title. The Wiggle-High5 team locked out the two top steps of the podium with Jolien D'hoore taking second place ahead of Eileen Roe (Lares-Waowdeals).

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.
