We caught up with Team Jumbo-Visma to chat about what drives them, inspires them and get the inside scoop on some of their favourite cycling routes. Read on! 👉
Q: Cycling at world-class level is extremely challenging. Who inspires you to keep moving when the going gets tough?
Robert: My family. Daisy and the kids, Anne & Bram are always there to support me and love to come watch the race when possible or join me for a trip abroad.
Tony: I don't need anybody to inspire me. It's just in my nature to give my best once I start something.
Sepp: My parents and girlfriend inspire me to keep going because they always support and believe in me.
Q: As world-class athletes, your team has cycled some of the best roads in the world. What’s your dream cycling route?
Robert: One day I would like to cycle through Japan from South to North. And Patagonia. And the Pacific NorthWest. And Maybe Australia again. Many dreams still... 😜
Tony: I love the roads in Mallorca next to the ocean the most. I still haven’t managed to make one full lap around the island, so that's still a goal! 😉
Swapfiets and Team Jumbo-Visma have joined forces to get the world riding. Why? Because we both believe cycling is the most healthy, environmentally friendly and joyful way to get around. Together we’re helping the world ride. Learn more.
About Swapfiets
Over Swapfiets
Swapfiets is 's werelds eerste ‘bike as a service’ bedrijf met een circulair businessmodel. Opgericht in 2014 in Nederland, groeide de scale-up snel uit tot een van de meest toonaangevende leveranciers van micromobiliteit in Europa, met inmiddels meer dan 270.000 leden in Nederland, Duitsland, België, Denemarken, Frankrijk, Spanje en het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Swapfiets streeft naar meer leefbare Europese steden, een 100% circulaire productlijn en wil in 2025 klimaatneutraal zijn. In oktober 2022 trad Swapfiets officieel toe tot de B Corp gemeenschap om hun missie te verstevigen.
Het concept van Swapfiets is vrij eenvoudig: voor een vast bedrag per maand hebben Swapfiets-leden altijd een werkende fiets. En zijn er onverhoopt problemen, dan wordt de fiets binnen 10 minuten in de winkel gerepareerd of direct vervangen zonder extra kosten.
Swapfiets startte in 2018 in België en heeft vandaag de dag bijna 15.000 members in ons land, verspreid over Antwerpen, Gent, Mechelen, Leuven en Brussel.
