He was inspired by his father Jurgen, who was an East German track cyclist. "When I was 10, he finished his career and started to mountain bike, and he took me with him. I started to have fun and won some races in my region. I was not so bad on the track, and I was okay in the pursuit, but I wanted to be a road cyclist. My real inspiration was watching Jan Ullrich win the Tour de France. After that, everyone wanted to be a road cyclist in Germany." (velonews.competitor.com, 31 May 2016)
