He has competed in marathon skating at national level in the Netherlands, which has the benefit of improving his endurance for mass start races. "I used to be a full-time marathon skater for two years, so I know how the game works. On the other hand, you can't say I'm very experienced, because most marathon skaters already ride well over two years. When I'm at the start of a marathon race, my intention is to participate well and to win for the team. Of course it is a nice bonus that you get stronger from it, but during the race I'm not thinking that I'm training." (teamjumbovisma.nl, 21 Jan 2022)
