Hero:

Dutch cyclist Mathieu van der Poel. (cyclingtips.com, 13 Apr 2021)

Philosophy:

"I don't know yet whether cyclo-cross, mountain bike or the road suits me best - I hope to discover that in the coming years. In that respect, Mathieu van der Poel is a good example for me. He shows that up to a certain age you can combine these three disciplines and thus develop yourself further and grow to the top of the world." (cyclingtips.com, 13 Apr 2021)
