Is the first time you have had support from the Dave Rayner Fund?
This is my first year being supported by the DRF. I can't wait to get stuck in to racing.
What team are you joining?
I'm riding for the Lotto Soudal U23 Development Team.
Tell us a bit about your team.
Lotto Soudal U23 is the feeder team/ development team for Lotto Soudal, the world tour team. It has a brilliant calendar and they look after us really well. It is a mainly Belgian team but has a good history with British riders such as James Shaw and Dan McLay.
What is your race programme looking like?
My race programme is really full. I will be trying all types of racing on different terrain and in different fields, from U23 to elite. I hope to be selected to race lots of UCI races with the team. However, when I’m not riding with the team I will be riding kermesses and pro kermesses in Belgium on my own.
Where are you going to live?
Olen.
What bike will you be riding and who supplies the team kit?
I will be riding a Ridley Fenix SL with Campagnolo Record EPS and Campagnolo Bora wheels. The kit is supplied by Vermanc, helmets are HJC, the shoes are Gaerne and sunglasses are from Rudy Project.
