In the latest SBS Cycling Podcast, hosts Christophe Mallet and Grace Brown are joined by Sarah Gigante, who opens up about her recent training crash that left her on crutches, yet she radiates positivity, rating her recovery “eight out of ten” and showing her determination to get back to racing as soon as possible.
I have built up an awesome support network, and I know perfectly well I'll come back.
The conversation then shifts to the Tour de France, where Sarah reflects on the emotional rollercoaster of competing so soon after major surgery. While her results weren’t what she had originally hoped for, just making it to the start line felt like a personal victory. Alongside Grace, the trio discuss the growing intensity of women’s cycling, where every race brings fresh challenges and opportunities for progress.
Finally, attention turns to the World Championships, with the team highlighting standout performances — particularly the historic triumph of Magdeleine Vallières, the first Canadian to ever win a world title. Both riders underline the importance of mental resilience, teamwork, and strong support networks in a sport that demands just as much psychological strength as physical endurance.
