Today, I’m joined by Phoebe Gale, one of the most exciting young talents in downhill mountain biking. From growing up in Scotland to competing against the world’s best, Phoebe has been on an incredible journey. But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. In this episode, we dive into her transition to elite racing, the challenges of injury recovery, and the mental side of high-performance sport. We also talk about her close relationship and rivalry with teammate Tahnée Seagrave, how she’s adapting to a new bike for the 2025 season, and what’s next for her career. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Phoebe Gale.
