Flo Payet was born in Reunion Island and carved out an incredible career in Downhill MTB. Flo went on to race 101 World Cup finals which is an incredible feat. Spending 19 years racing the world circuit, you can imagine he had his fair share of challenges along the way but also achieved highlights like a bronze medal at the World Championships. Flo became a character on the circuit with his laid-back Island way and positive attitude. He will be missed between the tape but will still be around the circuit in another role.

Marine Cabirou is awesome! The French rider has tasted the top step of the podium multiple times and won an overall downhill title but has had her fair share of injuries along the way in a somewhat short space of time. She never fails to have a smile on her face throughout the setbacks. Hear about her upbringing, how she deals with setbacks, winning and what makes her tick.
Shoutout to Scott Sports, a long-time partner of mine and supporter of the Podcast, for making this episode possible. Obviously, as a sponsored athlete I only have good things to say about the product, but if there is one product I’d push regardless it is the Stego Plus Helmet
I spend a lot of time on many different bikes, from riding trail and enduro to the occasional XC rip. What’s cool is having a helmet that works in all of those situations, and for me, the SCOTT Stego plus is just that. The fit is great, looks super good, and keeps me safe on a variety of terrain.
