Downtime - The Mountain Bike Podcast
Sports:Wilderness
Today, we’re joined by Katy Winton. In this episode, Katy opens up about her journey through burnout, the unexpected end of GT Factory Racing, and the reality of trying to find a team in the current economic climate. But fear not – Katy’s resilience shines through as she shares how she’s navigated these challenges and changes and found fulfilment outside of the tape. Hear how Katy is getting on with working a 9 to 5 and how she’s going to be working with Crankworx to help elevate the event coverage. I’ll also be asking Katy about her plans for 2024. As always, Katy brings an open and honest chat with heaps of energy. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Katy Winton.
