Biography: 
I went from footballer – to athlete – to duathlete – to triathlete. I teach, I coach, I train and I have a girlfriend (Lotte Claes, vice World Champion in duathlon and also pro cyclist) who’s even more crazy than me. My head never stops spinning. 
I’ve been part of the SCOTT family for over a decade now.  I really love the team’s vision on sports. It's all about “performance meets fun and family atmosphere”.
