What does “No Shortcuts” mean to you?
It’s discipline. Stay focused, work hard.

What do you get up to when you’re not out riding?
Depends on the season — I could be skiing, surfing, playing golf, or studying.

Outside of cycling, where do you draw inspiration from?
A lot of my inspiration comes from athletes who have been successful, or those who have been through injury setbacks and worked hard, showing true determination to get back to the top.

You’re stranded on a desert island. What three things would you want with you?
Water, food, and if there are waves, a surfboard haha.

If you could put up a billboard to be seen by countless people every day, what would you put on it?
