Name; Karl Hammarling

Nationality; UK/SWE
Place of Birth; Stockholm
Residence; Bristol
Specialization; Fighter
My name is Karl.
I was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in late 1993. My family only moved to the UK in 2007, but that is long enough to obtain dual-nationality.
I got my first bike aged 8 and i rode it everyday to school, the shops, friends.
I got my first racing bike when i was 13. I didnt race it, i just rode it loads.
My dad rode semi-professionally in Sweden for about 10 years, as did my Uncle. Cycling is in the blood.
Anyway, simply put i love cycling, my family loves cycling.
How did i get to Node4?
When i was 15 i raced in the U15 BSCA (British Schools Cycling Assosiation) Grass Track National Championship. I was leading heading into the final bend, when i caught my handlebars in the corner marker and came flying to a stop in the crowd...
I went back a year later, now in the O16 category. Not just the Grass Track this time. I entered the Grass Track, Road and ITT. I took all three titles!
2011 i returned for a third time. I won each championship, Grass Track, Road, ITT, MTB and Hill Climb!
All the national trade teams send a scout. I received offers from UK Youth and Raleigh-GAC, but Node4 Giordana made me the best offer.
What next?
Well i am currently on a £1,560p/y deal, but only for 1 year. They dont have that much faith in me. So may aim is to get a similar deal for 2013 either with Node4 or similar UK based team.
Long term i want to win a stage of the tour, top20 in a monument and ride at the WC.
By 2015 i want to be with either Endura, the best UK Conti team, or perhaps, if things go well, even with Sky. I want to have 10wins to my name, either stage or GC, and a top3 at a national championship

Very nice little intro I'm looking forward to this! His goals are realistic but he'll have to fight for it. I hope he gets a free role in the team every now and then. |
