Philipp bought his first road bike as a fascinated teenager watching the Tour de France. Since then he has taken part in many sportives across Europe. Climbs cannot be long or steep enough for Philipp; he does not like sprints though.
Besides sportives Philipp also enjoys crit racing and riding his MTB or cyclocross bike. As Sales Manager for ASSOS UK he is lucky enough to combine his hobby with his job.
Always looking for new challenges, he will tackle the Transcontinental (http://reportage.transcontinental.cc/) in 2016, a self-supported race from Belgium to Turkey.
