Gabriela Slamova - Czech Republic!

Junior Gabriela Slamova is young, talented, admirer of great cyclist Marco Pantani and Lance Armstrong. She is a talented cyclist riding for Dukla Brno.

Gabriel you are a cyclist by spirit and body. Does cycling have a tradition in your family? Who inspired or drove you to be a cyclist?

My father drove me to be a cyclist. He was World Champion in points race and medal holder in Olympic games held in Moscow.

You won the second position on Track, were you suprised?

In this race, I dedicated half a season. I regularly went to Prague, where I completed training under the guidance of Lukase Thuna. The second position gave me great happiness. It was a beautiful feeling to stand on the victory podium. For major achievement, I got 4th position for the points where I lost one point in the last round. In the 4th position I felt very bad, but I think most riders would understand why.

Which race result do you treasure the most?

That of course will be scratch and points for me and good positioning between the boys in the Peace Race.

Which races do you like or are close to your heart?

I love Mountain slopes and Tour de France. I feel a cold shiver run down my back when I watch Tour, so for sure stage races.

In which races are you going to participate in the coming few months?

For now, I am preparing for track and road race which awaits me in another two weeks at Moscow.

What is your target in the future? What is your dream?

As I had mentioned, my heart pounds for mountain rides, so I will go in this direction.


Gabriela loves the mountains!
