Jens Adams - Pro Cyclocross Privateer

Jens Adams is a professional cyclocross racer based in Belgium. After spending part of his career on some of the highest-profile teams in pro ‘cross racing, Jens set out on his own as a privateer. Despite the lack of support often provided by massive teams, Jens remains just as successful as ever – if not more so. More importantly, Jens is happier.

Battling the best of the best in cyclocross week after week in the cold, unforgiving mud on courses around the world, Jens consistently finishes in the top ten, often the top five – regularly crossing the finish line before racers with more household names.

Ritchey has supported Jens and his efforts for more than three years by providing him with handlebars, stems, seatposts, and saddles. In this video, Jens talks about his journey through cyclocross and why he chooses to ride Ritchey components.
