Summary

For the first episode of 2023 and I’m joined by a rider who’s been at the top of our sport for a long time now and shows no signs of stopping, Myriam Nicole. As this was our first time chatting we talk about Myriam’s path into downhill racing and how she worked her way up from being what she calls a slow junior to a top factory rider. Hear about how Myriam has overcome injuries and dealt with a fear of jumping to become a multiple world champion. We also talk about concussion and the experience Myriam had with it at the start of the 2022 season. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Myriam Nicole.

You can follow Myriam on Instagram @myriam_nicole.

0:00.0	Happy New Year. I'm Chris Hall and this is the downtime podcast.
0:07.2	We're going to be taking you deeper than ever into the gravity side of mountain biking.
0:11.3	I wanted to take the time to say thank you to all of you.
0:13.9	Whether you're a regular listener, someone who listens now and again, someone who's been a guest on the show or a brand that supports what I'm doing, I'm really
0:20.8	grateful for your support. Just before Christmas, downtime passed five million downloads,
0:25.6	which is a huge milestone that seems crazy now, but would have seemed even wilder when I
0:30.2	started the podcast nearly six years ago. I also found out late last year that downtime is in the top
0:35.2	1% most followed and most shared podcasts on the
0:38.2	planet. That genuinely makes a massive difference as it's that popularity that helps me keep
0:43.1	it going. So thank you and keep doing what you're doing. Listen, tell your mates about the show,
0:48.5	share it in whatever way works for you and keep helping me make the best show that I can for
0:52.7	you and all the downtime listeners around the world.
0:55.5	I'm super excited for 2023. There's going to be more episodes than ever with a couple of new projects kicking off,
1:01.0	which I'll tell you more about in due course. We're going to be getting deeper under the skin of the sport than ever before.
1:06.9	World Cup racing is going to be different with a discovery takeover, and I'm interested to see how that unfolds with the addition of enduro, changes to the schedule and more. We also have World Champs in Fort William, which have produced some incredible racing, and it's going to be a really exciting season. I've also got a few racing plans myself too, which I'll tell you more about soon. Also, lots of you have been asking about
1:27.9	ways in which you can help support the podcast. Well, I'm looking into Patreon more seriously,
1:32.4	so perhaps that's something that will be available in the future. Until then, you can either
1:36.5	get yourselves from downtime merch from downtimepodcast.com for slash shop, or you can subscribe to
1:41.9	our bi-annual mountain bike journal, Downtown EP,
1:44.9	which is a collaboration with a wonderful team over at Miss Spence Summers,
1:48.2	who make the downhill and injurious, Hurley-Burley and the World Stagebook,
1:52.1	which are also essentials for every mountain bike race fan.
