Today, we’re joined by one of 2024’s breakout stars, Lachie Stevens-McNab. After narrowly missing the win in Poland, claiming third in Leogang, and finishing just 0.06 seconds from victory in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Lachie has become one of the year’s most talked-about riders. But his journey didn't start here. A three-time BMX world champion, Lachie transitioned to mountain biking, quickly making his mark. Despite setbacks from serious back-to-back injuries, he’s finally hitting his stride this season. Hear how Lachie pushed through challenges, how Loic Bruni’s influence shaped his path, and what it took for him to break into the top tier. There’s plenty to learn from this laidback rising star. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Lachie Stevens-McNab.
