Former road world champion hopes a return to cycling will inspire women and show motherhood does not have to end careers
There are three of us in this interview, and in the best of ways.

She is, Deignan tells me, very calm, doesn’t cry much, “not much fazes her”, and at four weeks she appears to be taking this little episode in her stride.
