How does it feel showing up at a race with brand new gear?
Simone Tetsche Christensen: Damn awesome, always good to feel fresh at a race!
What happens to your old gear at the end of the season?

Do you change lenses much in your goggles?

What’s a product you can advise every rider to use?
Simone Tetsche Christensen: I really like the iXS protection gear I’m riding, it protects a little bit more than other pads I’ve been riding before and you quickly get used to riding with it! Also the Fly Helmets are very good to ride with as well as being super protective!
Do you think certain protection gear should be mandatory or do you leave that up to the rider himself/herself to decide?
Simone Tetsche Christensen: I think it should be up to the rider itself
