  • Summary

  • We discuss Marie’s her journey from a talented cross-country runner to a top-level cyclist, beginning after a calf injury forced her to transition to cycling in her late teens. Initially, she rode just to stay fit but quickly became competitive, entering local races and improving her times. Her natural drive pushed her to succeed, and despite a major accident early in her career, she recovered and went on to achieve national and international recognition. Morgan reflects on key moments, including winning her first UK National Road Race Championship in 1990 and her experiences representing the Isle of Man and Great Britain at the Commonwealth Games and the Olympics. Morgan’s career is marked by perseverance and determination in a time when athletes had fewer resources and support. She describes competing with minimal equipment compared to European teams, yet she continued to push boundaries and achieve remarkable results. Her recount of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, where she led part of the race before a puncture hindered her, illustrates both the triumphs and challenges of elite competition. Ultimately, her story is one of resilience, overcoming setbacks, and reaching the highest levels of cycling through sheer determination and passion for the sport.
