An inspiring deep dive into Ruby Roseman-Gannon’s challenging season and the true spirit of cycling: resilience, teamwork and passion.


In our last episode of the SBS Cycling podcast for 2025, Christophe Mallet talk to Ruby Roseman-Gannon about her intense year, joined by the always-energetic Grace Brown and David Mckenzie. Together, they revisit the key moments of a season full of highs and lows, offering an honest look into the reality of life as a professional cyclist.

I would say, yeah, probably not my best year performance wise, but still a good year. Still some really good moments and yeah, just keep progressing and looking forward to 2026

Ruby opens up about the challenges she faced in 2025, from injuries and illness to struggles during major races such as the Tour de France Femme. Despite these setbacks, she managed to maintain strong form thanks to her determination and mental toughness, revealing the resilience required at the top level of the sport.

I think we don't win, like, SDWorks wins. We win rarely. And so, yeah, when we do, we're pretty stoked

The episode also highlights the importance of teamwork, especially as Ruby reflects on supporting her teammate Mavi García during the Tour. As she looks ahead to 2026, she discusses the balance between preparation, ambition, recovery and joy.
