Kenta Gallagher was one of the UK’s rising cross-country riders and particularly excelled in Eliminator races. However, he switched to downhill racing, where he soon found himself among the world’s top 20. Soon, however, his skills were in demand as a coach, and so he ended his racing career. For several years now, he has been responsible for the riding skills of the Cannondale Factory Racing Team. After the World Cup, though, Kenta enjoys his home environment and the trails of Inverness that shaped him.
