What was the reason for you to start a BMX shop?

Elite Men UCI World Cup Ranking 2018:  3

Being in the top 10 in the UCI World Cup Ranking, what's your goal for the last two rounds in SDE?
Sylvain André: Winning this thing is nearly impossible. But there’s still a chance to end up 2nd in the series. Anyway, my goal is to be in both main events.

Is the Olympic qualifying period on your mind when you're doing races after 1 September?
