I think from on the Wednesday, looking at flights home and being in tears, bawling my eyes out because I thought I wasn’t going to race, to then putting the race together that I knew I could do, it was so amazing.On the first lap I was pretty far back, and the coach that was with us was like ‘Evie, you’re better than this.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I am better than this. It’s been a bit of a spiral. Still, I have to be careful just to keep on top of stretching and everything.So that race in Namur, I wasn’t planning on racing it. When I started, he would enter me into the races, and no one knew we were going, we would just go and do them together. If you walk away from a chat with her feeling like the world titles, the World Cup win, the Olympic potential — all of it — has been a bit of a whirlwind, that’s only because it has been.Evie Richards (Trek Factory Racing) finished third in the elite STXC and XC events at the Sea Otter Classic in April.Evie Richards: I was a field hockey player.

This year, I’d like to do a full cyclocross season, and a full mountain-bike season, and then go on to Tokyo — that’s the plan.The Olympics is definitely what I’m aiming for. I always thought I was super healthy, but I remember going on holiday mid-season, eating nothing but salads coming back and losing a lot of weight but naively all of the weight was muscle.

I was at school, and at the weekends I would go to a local race, or just go and do a junior worlds series, and then Monday I’d be back at school, and then back to work at Waitrose, which was the next job I got.
