How often do you train and what does your training look like?

We train every day, depending on the time of the season. At the beginning we do a lot of foundation units, during the season shorter but more intensive training sessions.

Does your team have certain rituals?

Everyone wishes each other good luck at the starting line with a "fist bump".

How do you motivate yourselves before a race?

The motivation is always with you! Most likely with music that still tickles the last few percent out of you.

How do you celebrate after a win?

When a top ranking or victory is achieved, we celebrate here with a glass of wine and/or visit a fast food restaurant on the way home :)

What does owayo mean to you?

owayo is not just a brand for us, we have worked closely together for many years, even becoming friends with the owayo employees. We can only achieve success together, so this is a very important factor.

What do you appreciate about your jerseys?

The individuality and super fit, but also the wide range of different items.
