Today I’m joined by one of the most stylish enduro riders on the planet, Iago Garay. Iago’s story is one of passion, perseverance, hard work and dedication. In this episode, we’ll explore the pivotal moments that shaped Iago’s journey, from his introduction to mountain biking to his unique story of how he turned professional and got his big break. We’ll also dive into the future of enduro racing, gaining valuable insights from Iago’s unique and positive perspective as a seasoned competitor. But perhaps most importantly, we’ll discuss Iago’s incredible resilience in the face of adversity, including his recent battle with a brain aneurysm. Through it all, Iago’s unwavering spirit and love for the sport have remained unbreakable, serving as an inspiration to riders around the world. This is a conversation you won’t want to miss. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Iago Garay.
