I knew I wanted to be a professional cyclist when…
When I was watching television as a young child and saw the races like Giro d’Italia and Tour de France and I dreamed of participating one day.
My greatest racing memory is…
Racing at the Olympic Games in Rio.
The race I dream of winning is…
A stage in a Grand Tour.
If I wasn’t a professional cyclist, I would be…
Probably a photographer.
