Henri Uhlig recently signed his first pro contract with Alpecin Deceuninck. For the past two years he's been riding for their development team. His season just ended after racing the famed Paris-Tours elite race. So, this interview takes place while he's on vacation.
Uhlig told me he's not happy with the season he had. He feels there were way too many wins left on the table. His first race of the season was Gent Wevelgem U23. Uhlig says it was his best day on the bike. He got 3rd in that race. Uhlig got his first win at the Province Cycling Tour in July on stage 3. He followed that up with another win in the Baltic Chain Tour in August on stage 2. He also won the youth and points classifications in that race.
Uhlig's dad was a racer. He says they held him back from racing but eventually got him a mountain bike and then road bike. His first coach was his dad. He was extremely successful as a junior and amateur. He joined the German National Team when he was a junior. He rode for the Rad-Net Rose Team before joining the Alpecin Deceuninck Devo team.
Uhlig says he's always wanted to go pro and signing his contract is a dream come true. He says he's ready to get back to training for the new season.
