Sepp's been a bud since he made the jump to the road from mountain biking and XC skiing. I've raced against Sepp many times and he's now worked his way to the very top of the sport. Sepp's now one of the best climbers in the world and races on one of the best road cycling teams in the world but has not changed in the slightest from the laid back proper bud that just enjoys riding his bike regardless of if its slicks or knobby's.
