HIATUS
He decided to quit the sport in 2016 but was persuaded to return two years later by Danish national track cycling coach Casper Jorgensen. "I had finished my bachelor's degree in college and was missing cycling since stopping in 2016, so I thought I might as well give it another shot. In my time away I wanted to try another sport and took up American football and played as a running back for the Odense Badgers in Denmark. It was a bit strange as playing that sport strengthened my coordination, so I've actually gotten a lot better at steering a bike."
