You became Swiss champion in 2018 while you were still an apprentice, what was it like at the European Championships? It was a little less organized, but otherwise the same: we had six posts and had to complete a task in an hour at each one.

What kind of tasks were they?
Completely dismantling and reassembling a coaster hub, completely assembling a bike, carrying out a suspension service, assembling a wheel, measuring the battery on an e-bike and repairing a plate and dismantling and reassembling an old crank with bottom bracket.

What was the most difficult part?
The coaster hub was a Czech product that I had never seen before. I had also never taken a coaster hub apart before. But there were instructions with pictures that didn't explain in detail how to remove which part, but at least showed what the individual parts looked like. As I took the hub apart step by step, it became clear to me what to do next.

What happens now, is the world championship your next goal? Unfortunately, there is no world championship for us bike mechanics, otherwise I would love it. In general, I like working on bikes in a competitive environment.

Are there any other competitions you can take part in'
No, that's it, there are no more. An association representative said: "Now you can retire undefeated."

The young Swiss Töffmechs were also highly successful, taking a one-two victory thanks to Julian Müller and Reto Moser.
