INTERVIEW

Be fast with a clear mind on the most technical trails.

When you push on the max. When your heart is on the limit. When the pain is a pleasure.
Where do you practice your techniques when being alone?
All around the world with my teammates. Also with Pulse Session Sport training.

The most important key is the right spirit motivation too. But maybe my start in this sport with the past of an X country rider.

My wife because we endure together all the years the same passion.
