What are your personal goals for 2022?

I would like to form the team into a good troop away from racing and to achieve our goals together. I want to show a solid level of competition all year round, but I would also like to grow beyond myself and be part of great successes with my experienced teammates. And to come home healthy from every race!

Where do you prefer to ride your bike?

In summer I often train in the beautiful Berchtesgadener Land. In winter I just try to get through the training as free of snow and fog as possible – always following the sun, so to speak. When all the navigating doesn’t help any more, I like to escape to the south and enjoy the sun there.

What does cycling give to you?

Cycling is the centre of my life. I love the freedom, the excitement, the speeds, the impressions, the possibilities, but also the feeling afterwards. I not only live the competitive sport, but also enjoy the lifestyle as a professional cyclist. In addition, I also use the bike as the number one means of transport.

Do you prefer to train alone or in a group?

100% in a group. The more the better! Cycling is a community.

Are there three general training or fitness tips you can pass on?

1/ Continuity is the most important thing – in the race as in training, it’s “keep at it”. 2 / Despite all the seriousness of the (cycling) sport, don’t lose the fun and the looseness. 3 / Take every chance, every day, every training session.
