Matthias Wengelin, 20 år, XC

My name is Matthias Wengelin, I’m 20 years old and this spring I will finish my last of four years at a high school in Skara with a direction towards cycling. 2007 has been my first year in the U-23 class and I’m really satisfied with my results from this season, I won the elite class overall, which was my goal coming into this season, and I managed to finish on the podium at every competition in the Swedish cup. In 2008 I will try to defend my victory in the Swedish-cup and hopefully compete at both the European- and World Championchips.

Matthias kör med Shimano XTR och Bell hjälm.
