In January 2025, I ordered my first racing bike — and from the very first ride, I was hooked. The speed, the suffering, and the fact that in this sport, I am the engine. There’s no machine to rely on — if I don’t perform, there’s no one else to blame. After competing in some training races in Sittard, I knew one thing for sure: I want to race.

Coming from a background in motorsport, I’ve always chased performance and adrenaline. But cycling offered something raw and personal — a new kind of challenge. In June 2025, I officially joined TigeRR Cycling under the guidance of Rob Ruijgh, fully committing to this new path. My goal is clear: train hard, earn experience, and line up for serious races in 2026.
