136. Kim Le Court, Monument winner, stage hunter and history maker


Listen Later

This week Robyn and Will are joined by Kim Le Court. The 29-year-old Mauritian turned pro in 2015, and now rides for Women's WorldTeam team AG Insurance-Soudal. In that time she's notched up a Giro d'Italia stage win, six national titles and earlier this year won a thrilling Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes.


In this episode Kim talks about having to petition teams to sign her, despite her obvious talent; making history by becoming the first African to win a Monument; coping with the mental strain of racing and the comedown after winning; her emotional ride to her first Grand Tour stage at the 2024 Giro; and embracing the role of the domestique while gunning for big victories - including her hopes for a Tour de France Femmes stage win this summer.


Interview begins at 3.49
