INFO
The freedom to do everything on the bike that comes to his mind, is what fascinates Thomas about trials riding.
Even as a child, he tried to ride on everything that had two wheels. His whole family is a bunch off-road enthusiasts, with his dad being the one to ignite the love for the sport of trials.
Even at a young age, Thomas was traveling the world, e.g. to the World Youth Games, where his best result was a second place or to the World Championships in South Africa where he became Vice World Champion in the Juniors category. He’s one of the “big boys” in the international trials scene for several years already. He made his first World Cup podium in 2015 in Albertville with a second place and in 2018 Thomas made his big dream come true and became World Champion in the 20″ Elite class.
In addition to competitions, Thomas loves to grab his bike and just start into the unknown. Always looking for the next adventure – preferably in the mountains!
