If you could race any cyclist (dead or alive) who would it be and what discipline: Frank Vandenbroucke. We were teammates for a season. He was my idol growing up. I obviously cannot race him any more or even race with him. He opened my eyes about a lot to do with the sport of cycling.

If you could write the first line for your personal Wikipedia page what would it say: Still here after all these years.

Toughest race you’ve done and why: Ronde van Drente. I was a first year u23 racing establisted world tour pros. It was my first race of the season. I have never tried so hard for 220km in my life again.

What cycling accomplishment are you most proud of? The 9 years I’ve been a professional and the incredible young riders I’ve opened doors for along the way

Any unique pre-race routines or lucky charms? My bottle cage bolts are from metal rods that are still in my femur and tibia. I just put them in. We’ll see how lucky they are!
