How old were you when you knew you wanted to focus on becoming a Pro rider?

At the age of 10 I knew I want to become a Pro rider.

Coming from a CX and track cycling background, what skills are you able to transfer into road cycling?

The track surely helps a lot on the TT bike to know aerodynamics at even higher speeds. CX helped to develop a feeling for the ground and the bike. Understanding the limits of my own skills and not risking more than I know I can do.

What are your tips for becoming a good descender?

Probably the best tip is that riding with somebody who is better than yourself and have fun learning it. But the better your understanding for the bike is the better you will descend, so the more time you spend in cornering, even at low speeds, the more comfortable you’ll get and the faster you’ll go.
