QUESTIONS ABOUT YOU

Now that you’re part of the SCOTT DH Factory Team, what are three things you’re most looking forward to with your new squad?
I’m really excited to work together as a team and push toward our shared goals, both individually and collectively. I’m also looking forward to bringing the fun back into racing while still working hard and learning from everyone around me. And of course, improving my French skills, haha!
How do you like the Gambler so far? What were your first impressions, and is there a standout feature you particularly enjoy?

I’m absolutely loving it. I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face during those first laps, which probably says it all. The Gambler feels incredibly nimble and playful, and that stood out to me right away.

After spending more time on the Gambler, what are your thoughts heading into next season’s races?
Honestly, I’m so excited. There is so much potential in this bike, and I feel like we are only just getting started. I can’t wait to keep dialing it in and be fully ready when the season begins.
How are you spending your off-season this year? What’s the plan and what are your goals?

I will be splitting my off-season between France and New Zealand, attending team camps, enjoying some winter activities, and then heading back to New Zealand for National Champs. The main goal is to come into 2025 stronger and faster, and fully confident on the new bike.

What are your goals for next season, and how will you approach achieving them?

My goals remain the same: aiming for podiums, building consistency, and delivering runs that I am genuinely proud of while making sure I am still having fun.
