The driving force behind Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift
Kate Veronneau's role in championing women's cycling
In a conversation with Pedro Couto Lopes in the Ride To Success podcast, Kate shares her journey from collegiate basketball to competitive cycling and her vision for the future of women's cycling.
Kate Veronneau's career mirrors her life's theme: the pursuit of excellence and inclusivity in sports. Despite facing the daunting challenge of transitioning from basketball due to knee surgeries, Veronneau found a new passion in cycling. Her early fascination with cycling evolved into a professional racing career, highlighting women's unique challenges in the sport—limited racing opportunities in the U.S., scarce visibility, and the struggle for professional recognition.
"I just want more people to experience the joy of riding bikes, the joy of watching women's racing."
