Understandable—and impressive. Deignan (known as Lizzie Armitstead until she married Irish pro cyclist Philip Deignan in 2016) hasn’t even been a mom for seven weeks, yet seems unfazed by the kind of priority juggling that stymies many new parents.

Lizzie Armitstead is in a bullish mood but she has every reason to be. The Yorkshire-born rider has firmly established herself as the leading female cyclist in the world and, having won the World Championships in 2015, she now wants an Olympic gold medal.

Forget a mid-life crisis; the quarter-life one is hitting Lizzie Armitstead hard. “I am old now and I don’t like it. Twenty-five is pretty old, don’t you think?” No way. I give a quizzical, look to encourage a reaction. “You’re a man, you’re all right: you don’t have to push a baby out. Now I am starting to think, crap. What am I gonna do after cycling? What career am I gonna have? Everyone’s buying a house, getting married, having kids and I’m still a bit of a nomad.”
