Cafe Roubaix, 13 October 2013
In the last couple of seasons, Andžs Flaksis had some impressive results in the U23 races: he won three times the individual time trial at the National Championships (2011, 2012, 2013), was a silver medalist at the European Championships (2012) and finished 3rd in the Tour of Flanders (2011). Also, he rode for two important US teams – Chipotle-First Solar Development and Bontrager – thus gaining experience for the future in races that had at the start also World Tour teams. A talented young rider (just 22 years old), Andžs Flaksis took some time this week to answer a couple of questions for Cafe Roubaix, about his seasons in the U23 ranks, his plans for the future and objectives as a pro.
