Kirsten Frattini, Women's Editor - Q&A

As Women's Editor, which race first inspired you?

I was fortunate enough to begin working for Cyclingnews in 2006. Many of you will know that t✃his was an important year for women's pro racing as it marked the beginning of Marianne Vos' elite road racing career with her at the Salzburg World Championships, after winning the elite cyclo-cross title earlier that year.

It's hard to pin down one race that first inspired me. There have been so many. I didn't know it then, bu🧸t in hindsight, this particular performance ignited a career that embodied nearly everything that cycling 𒀰has to offer.

Sixteen years later, Vos has taken us on a journey of 13 multi-discipline world championship titles, two gold medals at the Olympic Games, and a remarkable 32 career stage wins at the Giro d'Italia - a born leader and a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:figurehead for progress and change.

What is your proudest piece of coverage?

I enjoy learning about the figures in our sport, high-profile athletes, diving into an 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:in-depth interview to find out 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:what makes them who they are and why they 🙈do what they do best - what makes them tick.

It's also important to me to learn and write about people and stories that affect our emotions and change our perspectives. I'm grateful for our discussion with decorated Paralympian 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Megan Fisher and her message to the cycl💦ing community - "We are all mor💮e capable than we know".

I'm moved by the stories that explore topics bigger than our sport and that delve into worldwide impacts. One of the most harrowing recounts of bravery I have had the privilege to listen to was with Nobel Peace Prize nominee and cyclist 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Rukhsar Habibzai on her journey of survival out of Afghanistan.

I'm proudest of our work to uncover abuse in cycling through our 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:investigating and reporting of the horrific testimony of survivors while also exposing the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:flaws in the system and holding those persons, institutions an🅺d organisations in power accou﷽ntable.

Witnessing professional women's racing as it hit new heights at the Paris-Roubaix Femmes in 2021 won by Lizzie ಌDeignan and Tour de France Femmes𓂃 avec Zwift in 2022 won by Annemiek van Vleuten are moments that will go in the 🎶history books of the spo⛎rt.

Where do you see the future of women's cycling?

Women's cycling has faced many obstacles, but we have rallied togethܫer to create positive change through cultivating proactive a💧nd progressive attitudes and actions. I believe this organic growth is unique to women's cycling.

2021 saw the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:first women's Paris-Roubaix, and 2022, marked the return of the women's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France - historical moments that the cycling world will continue to celebrate. The Women's WorldTour ad💞ds new races every year, and the best part is that fans can now expect to see the live broadcasting of all the action from the best events in the world.

There'🔴s better media coverage and record traffic stats, and companies spend more marketing dollars on women's cycling. More people are watching, reading and engaging. There is still work to be done, but the bottom line is that the numbers show positive growth.

Our commitment to women's racing

Our commitment to women's cycling for nearly three decades has led to impressive audience growth. In the past five years ℱalone, our women's cycling content has consistently shown record annual figures through strategic budget and editorial plans as the sport gains unstoppable momentum.

We hope you have enjoyed our coverage of the women's road racing international calendar, including .1- and .2-level events, Pro Series and the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Women's WorldTour. We also bring you expert race coverage every year of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UCI Road World Championships and each quadrennial of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Olympic Games. It's not all road racing, and we also 🎉bring you repor﷽ts and stories from gravel, cyclo-cross, track and mountain bike races.

Our promise to our audience is to provide in-depth race coverage that includes results, reports and analysis, live coverage, breaking news, compelling features, original and exclusive interviews, investigative reporting, commentary, tech and galleries, and athlete blogs that, this year, include former world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Elisa Balsamo, reigning 168澳洲5最新开꧙奖结果:time trial world cha♋mpion Ellen van Dijk, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Rukhsar Habibzai

In addition, we aim to highlight essential women's 𒉰cycling-relevant storylines, along with stories that are bigger than the sport itself.

Our full-time staff of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:12 journalists all contribute to our in-depth women's content, and beyond that, we enjoy contributions from a host of expert writers and riders. Our team includes Women's WorldTour correspondent Lukas Knöfler and women's cycling content contributors Issy Ronald, Amy Jones, Maria David, Isabel💟 Best, and with newest contributions from Dan Challis, Andy McGrath, Shane Stokes and Fran Reyes.

After a riveting Spring Classics campaign that included live coverage of the biggest one-day races from the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Flanders to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix Femmes, th꧙e women's stage raci▨ng season is in full summer swing.

The top athletes from around the world have assembled to contest back-to-back Grand Tours at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia Donne and the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France Femmes in July, and Cyclingnews follows the race in person to provide you with a play-by-play of all the racing action๊.

Following an action-packed month of racing in July, Cyclingnews will continue our in-depth 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Women's WorldTour and world-class coverage of the biggest races on the calendar; the first-ever combined 168澳洲5𝓰最新开奖结果:UCI Road World Championships in Glasgow, Tour of Scandinavia, GP de Plouay, Simac ಞLadies Tour, Tour de Romandie and Tour of Chongming Island ꦡand Tour of Guangxi.

Cyclingnews is the world's leadeꦯr in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
