Meet Erwin Sikkens, the Dutch gravel rider who just nailed REBOUND.
“When I rode UNBOUND in ’22, I wasn’t the fastest. It was dark when I got in, just before midnight. And yet I was welcomed as if I’d won the event. Music. Fanfare. Someone handed me a beer right after the finish line. It was like I’d come home. That’s what I wanted to achieve for REBOUND. I wanted everyone to get that experience.”
And did you succeed?
