A little late posting this one as I’ve been traveling back home after La Thuile 🇮🇹. On paper, an 11th place finish at the @uci_mtbworldseries isn’t a bad result, and there were definitely some positives to take away from the weekend. I had a few solid stage performances that showed glimpses of where I want to be.But if I’m honest, I left La Thuile frustrated. Not so much because of the result itself, but because I wasn’t satisfied with the way I rode. I know I’m capable of more, and it’s difficult when you can’t fully show what you know is there.These last few World Cups have highlighted some areas I need to improve, especially on the longer stages where I’ve struggled to maintain the same level and intensity that I can bring to shorter ones. On top of that, my back is still causing me issues, so the next few weeks will be focused on recovery and getting to work on those weaknesses.I won’t be racing Aletsch and will instead focus on preparing for the final World Cup round in Morillon. I’m motivated to finish the season strong and put together a ride that reflects the level I know I can reach.A huge thank you to @nicbean for making the trip to support me over these last two rounds despite being incredibly busy back in CA, to my parents for being there as well and thank you to @le_speed_project crew for always bringing the good vibes and support. Having people who believe in me and support me through both the highs and lows means more than I can say, and it only makes me want to come back stronger.See you in Morillon 🤘📹 @joshbrown_799 by @julieduvert

La Thuile always delivers some of the most beautiful and challenging stages of the season. I had an amazing day on the bike yesterday during practice and felt great out there.Now it’s time to race. Excited for today and looking forward to bouncing back after a frustrating weekend in Canazei 💪🚵‍♀️. by @julieduvert

P14 at the @uci_mtbworldseries in Canazei 🇮🇹. After a Top 10 finish on Day 1, Day 2 was heavily affected by thunderstorms ⛈️ , and two stages were cancelled, making for a much shorter day of racing. Unfortunately, I had a crash and spent way too much time scootering my bike down the trail.I’m disappointed not to have had the chance to fight for a better result on the remaining stages that were cancelled, but that’s racing 🤷‍♀️. The past few weeks haven’t been ideal either. After injuring my back at the NAEC, I wasn’t able to train properly for almost three weeks and spent these four race days doing my best to manage the pain and keep pushing. There are still positives to take away, and I’m grateful to be back racing and competing at this level. Now it’s time for a bit of recovery before the next round in La Thuile in less than a week. Hopefully we’ll get some sunshine this time!Thanks to everyone for the support 🤍 by @julieduvert

Best yet!! 🥳 P6 at the opening round of the EDR season in Loudenvielle! 🤘The top 5 was only 4 seconds away, and I managed to finish inside the top 5 on three of the stages. I lost a bit of time on Stage 2, which was very physical and bike park-oriented, but overall I’m really happy with how the weekend went.I’m super stoked to start the season at this pace and show that the speed is there. The trails were dry, rough, and demanding, making for an awesome weekend of racing.Being able to share my best EDR result to date with my parents and Nic made it even more special. Hopefully it’s the first of many strong results this season.Now it’s time to head back to the US for @northamericanendurocup Nationals. I’m excited to race a new venue, discover new trails, and give it everything I’ve got.Let’s keep building 👊.———Le meilleur résultat de ma carrière jusqu’à présent !! 🥳 P6 à l’ouverture de la saison EDR à Loudenvielle ! 🤘Le top 5 n’était qu’à 4 secondes, et j’ai réussi à signer trois top 5 en spéciale. J’ai perdu un peu de temps dans la spéciale 2, qui était très physique et typée bike park, mais dans l’ensemble je suis vraiment satisfaite de mon week-end.Je suis super contente de commencer la saison à ce rythme et de montrer que la vitesse est bien là. Les pistes étaient sèches, défoncées et exigeantes, ce qui a rendu le week-end de course encore plus intense.Pouvoir partager mon meilleur résultat en EDR à ce jour avec mes parents et Nic l’a rendu encore plus spécial. J’espère que ce n’est que le premier d’une longue série de beaux résultats cette saison.Maintenant, retour aux États-Unis pour les Championnats de la @northamericanendurocup. J’ai hâte de découvrir un nouveau spot, de nouveaux sentiers et de tout donner.On continue de bosser 👊 by @julieduvert

P1🥇at the @racecascadia North Slope.First time riding in the area and I absolutely loved it. The trails were super high speed, really fun, and properly gnarly. My Ibis Ripmo felt incredible and fast today.It was a big day on the bike and excellent training before heading to Europe in a few days. I’m so excited to be back on home soil 🇫🇷 by @julieduvert

P2 at @tdsenduro! 🤘🥸Two days of racing with 11 stages that were so fun to ride, in all kinds of conditions, with the rain showing up on Sunday. It made the trails a lot more challenging, so it was all about staying on the bike and managing mistakes. A few blind stages as well, which always add an extra challenge.The atmosphere on track was unreal, so good to see that kind of energy at an enduro race.PS: @chl03b3ar, just realized on the photo you were standing on the 2nd step that should’ve been mine haha 😂. by @julieduvert

P3 at the @seaotterclassic, right behind the two best in the world 🌈.I took P2 on the DH track, which I’m really proud of despite a few mistakes up top. Across both days, the stages were incredibly tight, separated by just seconds, so there was no room for error.This year we had two new stages in Toro Park that I really enjoyed. Stage 4 was my favorite with more descending. Stage 3 was super physical, I gave everything but that’s where I lost the most time. More power in the legs needed haha… but we’re on the right track ☺️. Really happy with how I rode over the two days.Training continues, next stop @tdsenduro! by @julieduvert

Really happy to be working with @carbsfuel this season 🤝Nutrition is such an important part of performance as an athlete. As someone with a pretty sensitive stomach, fueling during training and racing has always been something I need to be careful with. I’ve been using their gels and hydration mix lately and they’ve been super easy to digest for me, no stomach issues at all.Their products are super clean with no artificial colors, simple ingredients, and a very light taste. The flavor is quite neutral with a slight honey/agave note, which makes it easy to take even during long rides.They offer 25g and 50g carb gels, caffeine options, and hydration powder, everything you need to stay fueled during hard training days and races.Really happy to have them supporting me this season in training and on race weekends 🚴‍♀️ by @julieduvert
