How did you actually get into cycling \u2013 and what does cycling mean to you today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fascination for cycling has always been there. But I really got into it through my work, through exchanges with professional cyclists and events like the Race Across America.
\nToday, cycling is much more than just sport for me: it\u2019s my balance, a real escape from everyday life. When I\u2019m on the bike, I feel free.<\/p>\n

Is there a special moment on the bike that you will never forget?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh yes! It was during the climb up the Grimsel Pass at a cycling event. I was completely exhausted \u2013 dead tired, fog, barely two meters of visibility \u2013 and had already ridden many kilometers.
\nAnd suddenly, it hit me: my life was going to change radically in the coming weeks \u2013 I was going to become a father. That moment touched me deeply. I was moved to tears. It was a turning point in my life that I will never forget.<\/p>\n

What fascinates you about events like the Alpenbrevet \u2013 whether as a rider or spectator?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a rider, it\u2019s above all the journey to get there. The training, the preparation, maybe a training camp \u2013 it gives you structure, a goal, and stability in everyday life. You know what you\u2019re going out for, even when it takes some willpower.
\nThe event itself is then the moment when you get to put into practice everything you\u2019ve been working towards for so long. That mix of anticipation, focus, and adrenaline is simply special.
\nAs a spectator, you cheer along \u2013 especially when family or friends are taking part. And when they cross the finish line and you can share that moment, it\u2019s pure goosebumps. Those are experiences that stay with you.<\/p>\n

How did it come about that your company supports the Alpenbrevet \u2013 and did you personally have a hand in it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our products are made exactly for these kinds of challenges \u2013 long, intense efforts over many hours. The Alpenbrevet just fits perfectly. All the better that we can provide our products there.
\nThe connection came through our long-standing partnership with the TORTOUR. And yes \u2013 I was definitely involved. You don\u2019t make partnerships like this from behind a desk; you do them because you\u2019re personally convinced.<\/p>\n

Why is the Alpenbrevet such a good match for your brand?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Alpenbrevet is the big endurance event in Switzerland \u2013 demanding, authentic, and very professionally organized. That fits us exactly.
\nAs a Swiss high-end brand, with development and production in Switzerland, we see the Alpenbrevet as a partnership on equal terms. The event is a strong fit for us \u2013 both in content and strategy. It appeals exactly to the athletes for whom we develop our products.<\/p>\n

Whether in training, on event day, or at the finish line \u2013 for Remo, the Alpenbrevet is more than just a race. It\u2019s an experience that connects, motivates, and inspires time and time again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
