For the first episode of 2023 and I’m joined by a rider who’s been at the top of our sport for a long time now and shows no signs of stopping, Myriam Nicole. As this was our first time chatting we talk about Myriam’s path into downhill racing and how she worked her way up from being what she calls a slow junior to a top factory rider. Hear about how Myriam has overcome injuries and dealt with a fear of jumping to become a multiple world champion. We also talk about concussion and the experience Myriam had with it at the start of the 2022 season. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Myriam Nicole.
