World Championships: Q and A with Rasmus Quaade

Danish rider Rasmus Qaade is a promising young talent who is just about to complete his first season as a professional. The Cult Energy rider will be one of the outside contenders for the individual time trial at the World Championships next week, after finishing 12th in last year’s event.

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.
