from mountain bike to racing bike

After struggling with two injuries in 2018, which held him from training for over three months, Maxim switched from mountain bike to the racing bike after the Corona pandemic. In 2020 he joined the Gütersloh cycling club, where he continued to develop and finished 18th at the German Championships. In the following years Maxim demonstrated his skills by winning five first places in street races in 2022 and winning an athletic test in Belgium.

With over 50 trophies as well as numerous medals and documents, his résumé illuminates the success of young athletes in an increasingly competitive environment.

fusion in German cycling

This merger should not only bundle resources, but also close a gap in German cycling between young people and the WorldTour. According to Scherf, a proteam is necessary for the development of German cycling. The sporting direction of the merged team is in the hands of Ralf Grabsch, Lukas Schadlich and Wolfgang Oschwald, while sponsorship support and management are with Jörg Scherf.

the training and the goals

currently Maxim Roor trains in a training camp in Mallorca, where he trains every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. With a weight of 70 kilograms and a size of 1.85 meters, it requires a diet of around 6,000 calories per day - even up to 8,000 calories in peak times.

his clear goal for 2025 is to get among the top 20 at the German championship in individual time trials and to successfully present themselves in international races. In the long term, Maxim is aiming to go to the Tour de France and win the title in the individual time trial.

with such high goals and the support of a merged team, Maxim Roor and his colleagues on the threshold are an exciting and challenging season 2025.
