From her victory at Liège–Bastogne–Liège, to lighting up the Tour de France Femmes with a stage win and multiple days in the yellow jersey, in 2025 Kim Le Court-Pienaar announced herself on the world stage. What you may not know is that her first foray into European road racing in 2015 began with a string of DNFs and DFLs.
In this episode of the Specialized Bicycles Podcast, guest host Ben Edwards sits down with Kim for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about one of the most unlikely and inspiring careers in modern cycling.
From grit to reinvention to breakthrough performance, Kim’s story is a masterclass in persistence, humor, and belief.
