Emily Bridges: Transgender cyclist insists she has 'no advantage' over female competitors

In March, cycling's world governing body, the UCI, blocked Bridges from competing at the British National Omnium Championships at the 11th hour amid threats of a boycott from other riders.

Had Bridges raced in Derby, she would have faced Dame Laura Kenny, sparking debate as to whether a rider who had previously set a junior men's record and won the men's points race at the British Universities' Championships a month before could have beaten the five-time Olympic champion.
