    Chat with Imogen Cotter (Irish Road Champion / Pro cyclist with Planturpura)

    Pick up a dictionary and look up "resilience" and you should see a picture of Imogen. This conversation recorded at the end of 2021 is bitter sweet as it came a month before her she was hit by a vehicle in Girona which abruptly halted her season. When we chatted the excitement about moving to Girona, having a positive mindset and the dreams for the year ahead had us buzzing. Sometimes life doesn't go to plan but listening to Imogen you will hear the grit and determination that will power her back to her goals. Win the day and the rest will take care of itself. Please cheer her on her journey to full fitness at @imogencotter.
