Justine Tonso, a 23-year-old athlete from France, is making waves in the world of Sky and E-Mountain Biking.
Interviewed at Spa-Francorshamps before her 2023 World Cup title, she shared insights into her journey of competing in both disciplines.
Tonso’s journey into cycling began at 12, where she initially dabbled in races at her school before realizing her potential. Progressing through national races, she eventually earned a spot on the French National Team.

Reflecting on her first WES UCI E-Mountain Bike Cross-Country World Cup race in Monaco, Tonso described it as an unforgettable experience, especially with her family’s support nearby.
The adrenaline rush combined with the familiar faces cheering her on a memorable moment that fueled her passion for the sport.
Drawing a comparison between Cross-Country Olympic (XCO) and E-Mountain Biking (EMTB), Tonso highlighted the sensations each discipline offers. While both involve pushing limits on challenging tracks, EMTB introduces a new dimension with its electrifying speed and terrain.
