2021 marked New Zealander Hamish Beadle’s first full professional season after coming through the ranks of the Team Novo Nordisk development pipeline from junior to devo team and finally the pro’s.

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at only three years of age, Beadle doesn’t remember life without the condition. He grew up in an active family with one older brother. Both his father and brother raced bikes, so Beadle was motivated to follow in their footsteps. By age eight, he was already competing.

In this episode, Hamish talks about leaving the comfort of home as a teenager to join the Team Novo Nordisk Talent ID program in America and the other sacrifices he's made to become a professional cyclist.
