Brother UK Cycling Podcast - Becky Storrie interview
Season 4, Episode 48, Jan 26, 04:39 PM
Becky Storrie’s rise from the Brother UK-OnForm development team to the professional ranks with Team DSM-Firmenich-PostNL provides positive proof for the health of British women’s road racing and the continuing value of Brother UK’s sponsorships.
Five years ago, Becky was a psychology student at Stirling University and an amateur triathlete with no knowledge of professional cycling. Her meteoric rise, begun in the colours of Brother UK-OnForm and continued with sister squad CAMS-Basso (now DAS-Hutchinson-Brother UK), provides a fascinating context to our latest episode.
We caught up with Becky at Team DSM-Firmenich-PostNL’s January training camp in Calpe to discuss a range of issues, from her formative seasons with Brother UK-OnForm to the life-changing opportunity presented by the Dutch WorldTour team.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Becky describes the “pinch me” moments of her first season as a professional, as well as its challenges: notably competing at the highest level of a sport with a team steeped in its heritage, despite having no history in cycling beyond the handful of years she had spent as a competitor.
From advanced training methods to the threat posed to the Women’s Tour - the platform for her breakthrough in 2022 - Becky and co-host Timothy John leave no stone unturned in this detailed discussion of a career set to fast-forward.
