My guest on the podcast today is Claus Moller. Claus is a former professional cyclist from Denmark. As a young amatuer rider Claus moved to Pamplona in Spain where he enjoyed a very successful amateur career. He quickly rose to the attention of the Spanish pro teams. After several seasons with the Estepona and Castellblanch pro cycling teams, Claus was signed by the top Dutch pro cycling team TVM. After several successful seasons there he then moved onto the Portugese Maia Millaneza Team before joining the Italian Alessio Bianchi Team, and finally the Barbot-Pascoal Team. Claus eventually retired from pro cycling in 2007. Among a string of top performances in the Giro d’Italia, Vuelta Espana and the Tour de France, Claus’s win list includes twice winning the Danish TT championships, a stage and eighth overall in the Vuelta Espana, two stages of Trofeo Majorca and the twice winning the Tour of Portugal, as well as the Spanish one-day race the Subida al Naranco. Since retiring from pro cycling, Claus has returned to the sport as the Business Development Manager for the Virtu Cycling Business Club, a Danish business network for decision makers and business leaders interested in cycling, set up and co-owned by former Tour de France winner Bjarne Riis.
