The role

What you’ll do

- Editorial: Plan and publish daily articles, recaps, explainers, and interviews; spot and fill topical gaps.
- Evergreen/“green” content: Build season-proof guides (races, teams, riders, tech, training) and keep them fresh.
- SEO & CMS: Optimise headlines, taxonomies, linking, and article templates; maintain a tidy, fast CMS footprint.
- Social growth: Own IDL’s tone on Facebook, X, and Instagram; test formats; create simple graphics/snippets.
- AI & automation: Use and help build AI agents (e.g., research, summarisation, internal alerts, briefs) within policy.
- Translation: Turn Dutch articles into natural, publication ready English in IDL’s style.
- Metrics: Monitor dashboard and track growth and traffic sources.
You are...
- Native English with a sharp news sense and clean copy.
- Deeply into road cycling (other disciplines a plus); you follow the calendar and storylines.
- Confident in SEO fundamentals and modern CMS use.
- Comfortable with social scheduling, basic image editing, and analytics.
- Curious about AI; you test tools and can document simple workflows.
- Organized, proactive, and fine with weekend/evening shifts during key races.
Nice to have
- Experience at a sports newsroom or publisher.
- Basic HTML or markdown; experience with Newsifier or similar CMS.

What we offer
- Flexible zero-hours* engagement with shifts ramping around the race calendar.

* What is a zero-hours contract?
A zero-hours contract is a flexible engagement with no guaranteed minimum hours. You’re paid for the hours you work, and shifts/hours may vary week to week (e.g., more during Grand Tours). Availability and scheduling are agreed case by case. All statutory rights apply per local law; this arrangement mainly provides flexibility for both parties.

- Those events are mental rest for him. Fun, without expectations. *Sagan lost his abilities because he gained weight and got lazy. Pogi will likely retire before that has a chance at happening.Veganpotter14-12-2025
- Ah, the consequences of riding for Israel.Veganpotter11-12-2025
- Pidcock could follow everyone but Pogi while finishing 3rd. No second place rider this season😃Veganpotter16-11-2025

- Cracked the code lol. If it was that easy to 'crack the code' jonny Vegas would be charging up the Kwaremont giving Pog a dose of his medicine. Evenepoel can't match pog on a climb and neither can mvdp. Anything with a half difficult climb and Pog smashes the field. Even on flat(ish)parcours like Roubaix it came down to a mistake and crash by pog to definitively crown mvdp. MSR is the only one that Pog probably won't win.kevpt10-10-2025

- What the data doesn't show is how much of an effect drafting had for evenepoel. Pogacar went with del toro at 100km whilst Evenepoel was still in the bunch. Despite the bike changes he still had a lot of assistance getting back to the bunch. Pogacar then rode 60km solo whilst evenepoel rode with Healy/Skjelmose until going solo in thd last 10-15km. Thats ~20% less power / energy requirements for 45-50km. Apples and oranges...kevpt30-09-2025
