Wise Words is our new interview series talking to some of mountain biking’s most switched on people.
We’ll ask our short list of questions to a heap of influential, inspiring and outspoken people that we feel are driving the direction of mountain biking today. Some will make you think, some will make you laugh, some will be plain dumb, some will inspire you to better yourself and your riding. We hope!
Wise Words this week comes from Canadian enduro pinner, Andréane Lanthier Nadeau.
Andréane Lanthier Nadeau is another cross country rider who swapped World Cup XC for the joys of racing bigger bikes on bigger terrain. Fast forward five years and the Quebec-born, Squamish-based pinner is now ranked third in the World after bagging four EWS podiums in 2019 and only straying outside the top 10 once.

What thing or things have you bought in the last year that had the biggest effect on your life as a mountain biker / cyclist / person that works in the bike industry?
A denim shirt, this year I will buy DWR treatment and it will really change my life. Nothing like a technical denim shirt.
