About Me

I spend my off-season: Strength and conditioning, speed skating, nordic skiing.
My goals and expectations for 2012 are: Try to achieve a sub-57 minute 40k TT.
I started racing because: Racing motivates me to train, training keeps me fit and cycling is just great excercise.
My cycling mentors and/or influences are: Fabian Cancellara.
I consider my finest moment on the bike to be: Double Bong 40K TT. I managed a sub-hour for my first TT on my TT bike despite being exhausted from having worked all night.
The on thing I’ve done on a bike that I will never do again: Spend the entire race at the front only to fold at the end.
