This will make you faster on the bike!

A tricky rockgarden in a race is always a good challenge and shows who can handle his bike the best.

At the moment my favorite part is the SWAT box from Specialized. So I have always all my spare parts with me to fix a flat tyre on the trail.

The tyres are the only contact point to the ground and for this reason this noise is very important. Every surface sounds different and from these noises I notice how much grip I have on the surface or how good the rolling resistance is. For this reason I never ride with headphones during my mountainbike trainings.

The smell of the nature is extremely diverse and it's worth to use all senses during the training. This is also one of the reasons why I love my sport so much.

That's definitely bleeding my SRAM brakes, but luckily I have a really good mechanic for that.

At all races in Europe we're traveling with our camping car. Like this I have always my own bed, kitchen and workshop with me. I learn to appreciate such simple things when I race outside Europe and I must rely on hotels and rental cars.

The feelings in the last minute before the start are always unique and also one of the reasons why I love racing so much. Everyone should be able to experience this mixture of adrenaline, motivation, self-confidence and also the uncertainty. When you finish the race in first place and you can cheer, everything is perfect.
