Who inspires you and why:
I find myself inspired by cyclists from all disciplines and races, whether that be the Tour de France or mountain bike World Cups. Coming from a downhill background I've always looked up to riders like Steve Peat and Sam Hill, and ever since I started riding I've tried to emulate them, admittedly not quite as successfully!
How do you celebrate/relax after a big event:
It's always nice to get home and be able to indulge in the smaller things that you sometimes miss out on when preparing for a big race, like spending a bit more time with family or having one of those cakes you've been eyeing up for a while. It tends to be nice to have the pressure taken off for a little while, and a night out with friends always tends to go down well!
