About ME
I was born and raised in the mountains of Tyrol. I have always spent a lot of time in nature. During my childhood, while playing sports and playing with family and friends, I discovered a strong affinity for cycling and thus my love for mountain biking. Thanks to great youth work at Racing Team Haiming, I quickly became successful in international competitions. After several seasons in the XCO World Cup circus, I ventured into the newest racing format, the E-MTB World Series.
In preparation for the season, I mostly ski in the winter or work out in the weight room. I have been living in Innsbruck for 5 years, where mountain biking and skiing are very popular and many of my friends also do these activities.

Annas Story:
How I got into biking ...
I grew up in the small village of Haiming, also known as the "Meran" of North Tyrol. The local cycling club organized rides and training sessions several times a week, where up to 30 children shared the fun of mountain biking. That's where the foundation for my career was laid. Above all, the community and friendships that I found in mountain biking gave me a lot of motivation and are still invaluable to me today.
The best bike Region is ...
The best biking region is the Western Cape in South Africa. Endless trails, something for all abilities and, above all, warm when it's icy here

My coolest bike experience was ...
There are lots of unique experiences, and almost every training session is filled with something funny and adventurous. My first participation in the E-Bike World Tour in Verbier was an exciting adventure. In teams of two, my teammate Alia and I went over Alpine passes and breakneck descents through the impressive landscape around Mont Blanc. After 2 days on natural trails with the E-bike, we were the first team to cross the finish line, totally exhausted but overjoyed. This was certainly one of the hardest, but also coolest experiences on the bike.
When I'm not biking ...
When I'm not biking, I'm at university studying sports management. :-)
