BIOGRAPHY
Originally a Kilkenny minor camogie player, Mia didn’t take up cycling until her late teens yet won a bronze medal in Individual Pursuit at the European U23s (2020). She has been integral to Ireland’s Team Pursuit line-up winning silver at the Nations Cup in Hong Kong this year, and securing their historic Olympic spot as a result. She was also part of Irish team who won Pursuit bronze at the 2021 European Championships, and raced for a bronze medal at this year’s Europeans where they were beaten by world record holders Germany.
Mia raced on the World Tour with Israel Premier Tech Roland in 2023, and is now with UK Continental Tour side DAS-Hutchinson. She is the only Irish woman to take part in, and finish Paris-Roubaix unfortunately suffering a bad concussion on it last year which kept her off the bike for five months. On her return she also qualified Ireland’s nation spot in the Olympic Road Race with a third place on the Tour of Guangzi in China; the best result ever by an Irish rider in a women’s World Tour race.
