In 2019, Morgan Aguirre decided to step outside of her comfort zone. Having never competed in any sports, she rented a bike from her local Trek store with the goal of riding 50 miles. Things escalated quickly, and soon, fellow Seattle resident (and now WorldTour rider) Veronica Ewers saw her posts on Strava and asked her to join the Fount Cycling Guild, a Seattle-based team geared towards new riders. But just as her aptitude for road racing was becoming increasingly apparent, Morgan made an unusual decision: she moved to Spain. Now, several years later, she’s living in Girona and throwing down some attention-grabbing results in the European gravel scene.
Payson sat down with Morgan last week to talk about why she decided to move to Europe and focus on European gravel despite being an emerging American talent, and where she’s hoping to take her career. She talks about grabbing first place at a stage of Santa Vall last month (and second overall) with a commanding performance alongside heavy-hitting pros like Ashleigh Moolman and Klara Sofie Skovgaard, and why she doesn't have plans to switch to U.S. gravel anytime soon.
