The Wolfman

Every single detail is important. The weight of the machine and the fit – therefore ergonomics – must be absolutely precisely set-up. Nothing is left to chance. This is the mantra of Wolfram “Wolfman” Kurschat, the German National Champion 2009 and 2007.

The way he rides is also without compromise. “If you aren’t completely finished, with no energy left, and can barely bring yourself to walk let alone ride once you have crossed the finish line, then you haven’t given as much as you should have on the circuit.”
