"I am competitive and I like to see how far I can go. How I improve my performance. I am happier when I am on a bike, I feel very strong and confident and I just like the atmosphere. "

How is your life style?

"I train 6 times a week and some days I feel very strong with a lot of energi and sometimes I struggle a lot. It is all about trying to be motivated all the time and love your sport. If you don’t love what you are doing then it hard to make to the top. Sometimes you must feel the pain and up and downs, before experiencing your best. The important is not to give up. Take care of your training and eat healthy, most importantly take care of you body. It is important to feel when you need a breake."
