WINNER UNBOUND 2022
So proud to be the first non-american winner in the fastest time ever of the Unbound in Kansas! Felt strong on the Wilier Triestina Rave machine and great to finish it off in a sprint with 4 fellow riders. “I am so happy. It was my big goal and I succeeded in my first year as a professional gravel rider after winning The Traka. It was super cool to finish it off in a sprint of five.”

"In 2021 I experienced Unbound, the biggest gravel race in the world. That touched me in a way I'd never felt before. I got in contact with Wilier-Triestina and we decided to bundle forces and strive for the best results in gravelraces like winning the Traka and Unbound in 2022. This website contains an overview of all the races I will ride, as well as the brands that support me in achieving my goals."
