Bryon Munton: 'Driving is a huge responsibility'- Domestique Hotseat Podcast
Byron Munton heads into the Hotseat with Aidan Burgess as he prepares to lead Team South Africa at the Rwanda UCI World Championships.
South African rider Byron Munton has lived through more than most in his 25 years. From crashing into a swimming pool while learning to ride, to lifting his arms in celebration at the Volta a Portugal, Munton’s story is one of resilience, family, and finding purpose in the hardest of times.
In this episode of The Domestique Hotseat, he opens up about his first elite World Championships, the brutal reality of being South Africa’s only male representative, and the training roads of Rwanda. But beyond racing, Byron shares the emotional journey of supporting his sister Jess after she was struck by a car in 2023, a crash that left her with life-changing injuries.
We talk about recovery, mental health, and the weight of responsibility that every driver carries when they take the wheel. And we revisit the raw emotions of his first pro win, achieved in a season where he admits he came close to giving up the sport.
