„She is a woman in a young persons body“ Very well analyzed. Fully developped Grown-up mental strength combined with an unbeatable power to weight ratio. That‘s a winners model athlete! Go Mona, for the overall world cup win in 2024!

It's pretty easy to win world cup XCO races. You just need to do these few steps: 1. Have 400+ FTP while not weighing above 75kg, with huge anaerobic engine. 2. Lifetime of technical practice and racing experience. 3. Enough UCI points to not start from rows 3+ 4. Professional team around you to cater to all your equipment, training, and dieting needs. 5. Luck to not get mechanicals. See? Pretty easy.
