The MTB career of Simon Schneller in fast-forward:
166 races Simon Schneller had ridden in his life before he got a professional contract. He was on the start line for the first time twelve years ago. Next year, he will take out his tenth licence and wants to take part in more stage races.
Initial ignition for Simon's change of team was his overall victory in the U23 Bundesliga. Shortly after the last race of 2017, his mobile phone rang and the Bulls team boss offered him a contract.
370 watts is the average time Simon Schneller runs in a national league race. For the world's best in the marathon, he needs to step it up a notch. According to his own statement, Alban Lakata pedalled 450 watts during the marathon world championships.
2 hours per week, Simon wants to train more next year in order to keep up with Alban Lakata at some point. So far, 13 hours a week has been enough for him to be competitive.
New luxury - In 2018, not only Simon's jersey colour will change, but also the material and the support. Schneller only used a hardtail in the BIKE Junior Team. In the future, he will be using a fully more and more often. He now also gets massages from the team physio after the race.
Account data - In the junior team, Simon was provided with materials and travel expenses. From now on, he will receive monthly payments to help him finance his studies. He still has to win a few more races to get his team-mate Platt's Porsche.
