“I’d like to erase the fact that no female athletes were invited to Red Bull Rampage or Red Bull Joyride. I said it.

I was a skier before I was a mountain biker, and it has always felt strange to me the absence of women at these pinnacle cycling events. Especially now when the athletes are progressing so exponentially and the talent pool is growing.

It’s a step backward for 2023 and continues to limit our sport.”
