Austin Killips becomes first trans cyclist to win UCI women's stage race — 'After a week of nonsense on the internet I'm especially thankful to everyone in the peloton and sport who continues to affirm that Twitter is not real life,' she reflected cycling
Austin Killips' stage-winning performance on Sunday's final climb of the Tour of the Gila was significant, not just for securing the 27-year-old the overall victory of the New Mexico-based UCI 2.2 women's event, but also for representing the first time a transgender athlete has won a UCI women's stage race.
The win has been reported far and wide, with national news outlets in the United States and here in the UK picking up the story, but addressing the outside noise and commenting on her success, Killips expressed gratitude to her fellow competitors"after a week of nonsense on the internet". "I worked my ass off training for this and it feels f****** good to reap the fruits of the hardest block of riding I've ever completed. Hug your friends, ride bikes together, and never forget that a better world is possible.
