Sarah Gigante: From Setbacks to Stage Wins

In this episode, Georgie Howe and Sheridan Braatvedt sit down with one of the most exciting riders in the pro peloton, Sarah Gigante. At just 24, Sarah’s already done more than most of us dream of: she won the elite Aussie road title at 18, represented Australia at the Olympics and this year, she took the Giro d’Italia Women by storm, winning two brutal mountain stages, securing the climber’s jersey, and landing herself a podium finish overall. But her story goes far deeper than results.Sarah opens up about the hard stuff: serious injuries, major surgery, long stretches off the bike, and the mental work it takes to rebuild. She reflects on how her love for the sport started, the pressure of early success and staying grounded through the highs and lows.
