The full version of my #allacess with treksegafredo is out now 👍

I hope you enjoy getting to know a little bit more about me on and off the bike 😁

In the video I talk about what is important to me, and I ‘admit’ that cycling isn’t top of the list. It would be easy to assume that it’s because I have become a mum but the truth is it never has been… I talk about how I won more bike races before becoming a mum, again easy to assume that becoming a mum has something to do with that, on the contrary my post partum values and physical strength are the best they have ever been but thanks to the development and investment into womens cycling,  bike races are simply harder to win than ever before… I totally understand why I am asked about juggling motherhood and cycling because right now that is a huge part of my story, particularly as physically I am still recovering from pregnancy, but I can’t help but wonder if people asking the question assume that I am compromising one for the other…? A question an athlete who is also a father probably doesn’t receive very often if at all... I am a focused and committed athlete and I am the best mum to our children. Being a treksegafredo rider has enabled me to be true to who I am on and off the bike and I love racing for this team… for me it’s all about trying to keep balance 😊
