Cat Ferguson: ‘The Classics are where I want to be' – Domestique Hotseat Podcast

At just 19, Cat Ferguson has already lived a full cycling life. From a childhood spent on Alpe d’Huez to a breakthrough season with Movistar she talks about growing up fast in the peloton, handling setbacks and whether she could beat Puck Pieterse in necking a pint.

In the Domestique Hotseat, Ferguson reflects on skipping cyclocross for the first time, the mental strength it takes to survive the spring, and how a stage win at the Tour of Britain helped her reset after a tough start to the year. She also speaks candidly about the need for a proper U23 pathway in women’s cycling, training around her period and why Movistar’s easygoing Spanish spirit feels like home.

A sharp, funny and down-to-earth conversation with one of the most exciting young riders in the peloton.
