In this episode, we sit down with Bridie to talk about what it actually means to be a try-hard, why the traditional sporting system gets talent identification completely wrong by looking at wingspans instead of hunger, and what it’s really like to slog away as a 34-year-old rookie sleeping in a bunk bed in Italy making 12,000 euros.
We chat about the reality of team dynamics playing the grunt woman or the domestique who protects the leader without ever getting to wear the yellow jersey and how Bridie turned her casual blog posts and a viral 2-million-view open letter into her ultimate pathway straight into the mainstream sports broadcast booth as a leading voice for the Tour de France.
