The Truth

Born 1985 in Falun, Sweden. Grew up in Säter, about 40 km away from Falun. Beside riding my bike I´ve done icehockey, motocross, skateboarding and snowboarding as well. At age 13 I won my first gold medal at the Swedish Championships and from that day cycling has been main focus. I have won medals at every championships in Sweden ever since.

At age 16 I decided moving to Skara where I was able to combine cycling and school in a better way. It was a big step moving away from family and friends, but I´ve learned a lot from that.

When I became junior I made a few good results with podiums at international races. I got my first pro-contract with Team Bianchi MTB at age 18. After four years in the celeste-green jersey I moved on to Full Dynamix in 2008.

2009 I signed a contract with Team Felt International, but after financial problems I had to leave the team. As from 11 of june I am racing for Jan Ten Tusschers team Debrink-Tentussher based in the Nederlands.

I am representing Rabo-Giant Offroad team from 2010 and forward.

My final goal is to reach the very top. I know there´s a lot of work, but I am confident and motivated! I´m surrounded with a great setup and supports from my family, team, sponsors, Swedish Olympic Committee and Andreas Danielsson who´s my coach and playmaker.
