Covered events including the Tour de France, Paris-Roubaix, Ronde van Vlaanderen, Amstel Gold Race, Liege-Bastogne-Liege, Giro della Toscana, USPRO Championships, Liberty Classic, and the UCI World Championships. Authored “Eternal Flame,” an October 2014 VeloNews column selected by the editorial staff as the top story of the year for its look at the symbolism of the Giro di Lombardia’s traditional place at the end of the cycling season. Deliver on-the-ground coverage of top national and international events across nearly every cycling discipline as well as analysis, commentary, and feature articles for print and web.
