Cycle sierra nevada Scholarship Program

From 2014 we will be providing a number of opportunities for young cyclists, both male and female, to take part in one of our training camps completely free of charge. Cycle Sierra Nevada will be offering a number of places each year on their Scholarship Program to young athletes in an attempt to assist them in their aspiring careers.

PASCAL EENKHOORN - AVIA CT - THE NETHERLANDS

WHO ARE YOU?

My name is Pascal Eenkhoorn, I’m 17 years old, almost 18, and I live in The Netherlands.

WHO DO YOU RIDE FOR?

For the past two years I rode for Enertherm-BKCP, a cyclocross team, but in 2015 I'll ride for the Belgium Avia Cycling Team.

TRAINING PARTNERS?

Sometimes I ride alone, but in the winter, when I do long rides, I got a good partner named Bas Tietema, he is riding for the BMC Devo Team. When Bas is home there is a big possibility that we train together, but when he is alone I train alone the most of the time, there aren't many cyclists over here...

WHY DID YOU START CYCLING?

This new road season will be my 11th season in cycling. I started at category 1, the first one in The Netherlands. Before I did ice skating and speed skating and because of ice skating I started to train cycling. I loved racing on my bike more and that is why I chose for cycling.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT CYCLING?

I just love my bike, I love it to train, even when it is raining. It is just because you get a kick when you finished your ride and are satisfied with it.
