There are many things I love about mountain biking – the people you meet, the skills you need, the concentration it requires, race strategy, the opportunities to explore new places and countries, being outdoors, and of course the chance to ride some of the best bike technology in the world. With the support of so many people over the years, I’ve been able to pursue my dream of becoming a professional cross country mountain biker.
I’ve been racing competitively on the World Cup circuit since early 2012 when I joined the Trek World Racing team. I was with the Cannondale Factory Racing Team for 4 years, competing in the under 23 year category, then with the Trek Factory Racing Team for 8 years, and with Lapierre Racing Unity in 2025, competing in the elite category.
This year I have joined Lapierre PRX Racing. After a difficult couple of years of illness and injury, my goal for 2026 is to be fit and healthy so I can compete again at the highest level in the World Cups and at the World Mountainbike Championship.
