Tinkoff-Saxo’s Michael Valgren has had an impressive season. The neo-pro was crowned Danish national champion in late June and won Tour of Denmark in August. In total, the 22-year old Dane has had ten top-5 results during 2014 and finished off the season with a 4th place in the final sprint of Japan Cup after a year of dedicated work for the team.

 

But Valgren reckons that there’s more to come in 2015, if he continues to work hard and learn from his trainers and teammates.

 

“The off-season will first and foremost be about recovering and relaxing in between activities. But with that being said, I really want to take another big step in my career in 2015 and use the momentum I have right now. But I think that it will come automatically with the sport directors, trainers and experienced riders that we have on the team”, says Michael Valgren after concluding his season, according to Tinkoff-Saxo official press release.

 

Besides playing the role as valuable domestique, Valgren has also showed his abilities to create results. He plans on using his current momentum to improve his chances in the future.

 

“I want to improve in many aspects, both on the shorter climbs, the sprints, my endurance… Everything if I have to be honest. I would like to gradually evolve into the kind of rider that Sagan is, a rider that can go for the win in the classics, hard sprinter’s stages and short stage races. At least that’s my objective, and I’m prepared to work hard to realize that dream. The most important part is following the advices I get and work for the team, while seizing the opportunities, when I get to ride my own chance”, Valgren adds.
