What does STEVENS mean to you? What are your experiences with the equipment? From the very first moment, I loved the STEVENS bikes. The geometry is perfect and the bike simply feels great. The Carbon Team is very stiff, lightweight and compliant. Almost as if the ability to get ahead right at the start was built-in. You participate in top level cyclocross races, you are often among the top 5 at the mountain bike world cup and you also do track cycling. How do you manage to compete in such a wide range of races? I just love cycling – and with varied disciplines it‘s even more interesting. I like the speed, the power and the technique you need for cyclocross, the fun factor of mountain biking and the pure speed on the track. I also believe that the three disciplines complement each other well and thus make me a better cyclist in general. What do you think of the handling of the new STEVENS Scope? I think it was designed for exceptional handling. It quickly responds to your commands—not too fast, 42 however. With the STEVENS Scope, I can master tight turns or technically demanding passages very easily. The popularity of Cyclocross in the US keeps growing, right? yes, its popularity is growing every year. There are more and more riders who shift their focus towards cyclocross and plan their season according to the cyclocross events. In the past you would do that for MTB races or for the road racing season. The uS cross scene is different from these – the events are always very entertaining, the spectators are as euphoric as the athletes and want to try it themselves! What are your next major goals – in sport and for your life? Naturally I want to win more races, first and foremost the cyclocross world championships. I want to develop my mountain bike skills further and qualify for London 2012. generally, I‘d like to stick with cycling as long as I achieve good results and don‘t suffer from injuries. After my active career as an athlete I will definitely switch to coaching – I‘m just a cyclist by conviction! If that doesn‘t work out I‘ll go to college, preferably choosing something in the medical field.

What does <strong>STEVENS</strong> mean to you? What are<br />
your experiences with the equipment?<br />
From the very first moment, I loved the <strong>STEVENS</strong><br />
bikes. The geometry is perfect and the bike simply<br />

and compliant. Almost as if the ability to get<br />

choosing something in the medical field.
