Motocross World Champion Courtney Duncan on winning a fourth title, overcoming setbacks & the transformation of her sport.
Episode 15
Tuesday, 5 March, 2024

Motocross World Champion, Courtney Duncan has done what no other female kiwi rider has done, win a World Championship title multiple times. Being on top of the podium, four times in five years, you’d think the 28 year old from Otago, would be able to kick back a bit. But from the outset this trailblazer has been determined, setting her sights higher each year and not taking anything for granted after an injury setback. There’s more to come in her impressive career, as she changes teams and location for 2024, embarking on her goal of winning a fifth world title. She talks about the transformation of motocross, where once there were hardly any girls, now seeing so many, brings a smile to Courtney's face.
