Six years at SRAM, and Greetis still has to say she's a mechanic
Escape Collective published Suvi Loponen's interview with Anna Greetis, a SRAM senior race tech for six years and the only woman on the race tech team. When she stops to ask a rider at the roadside if they are all right, she usually has to ask a third time and add that she is a professional mechanic. Six years in the job have not removed that step.
Greetis is now the main contact for the dozens of SRAM-supported athletes, mainly in the gravel sphere. Her line to a stranded rider is «I'm a professional mechanic!» She grew up around bikes, asked her father to teach her instead of fixing her flats, and wanted to be able to say «No, no, I got this.» She worked in a bike shop through university and after graduating, then joined SRAM after a long hiring process interrupted by the pandemic and several interview rounds. The interview took place the night before L'Étape Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, while she drove the author to Marseille to pick up a bike the airline had lost.
