In 2017 she won the Gent–Wevelgem junior race and came second overall in the EPZ Omloop van Borsele.[7] In 2018, she won the junior races Trofeo Da Moreno (junior race of Trofeo Alfredo Binda), Healthy Ageing Tour, and Watersley Ladies Challenge. In September 2021, she took her first professional win at La Choralis Fourmies Feminine in France,[2] and the following month Georgi won the women's road race in the National Road Championships.[8] She competed in the 2021 UCI Road World Championships, where she worked as a domestique in the road race with responsibility for leading Lizzie Deignan into the course's climbs, earning praise from the latter.[9]
Representing Great Britain, Georgi finished 5th in the road race at the 2024 Paris Olympics.[10]
The same month, Georgi was forced to abandon the 2024 Tour de France Femmes after a crash on stage five, in which she broke her hand and fractured her neck.[11]
Personal life
Georgi was born in Herne Hill, London to father Peter, who races at masters level, and mother Louise, who is an amateur cyclist. Her older brother Etienne cycled for Team Wiggins Le Col in 2017–2018.[2] Her paternal grandfather was of Greek-Cypriot origin.[12]
The family later moved to Berkeley where Georgi raced on the Castle Combe Circuit,[13][2] making her debut there at the age of six.[9]
In 2020 she broke two vertebrae in a crash during Classic Brugge–De Panne,[2] a race in Belgium she went on to win in 2023, recording her first victory in the Women's WorldTour.[14]
