Cancellara team senior Reichenbach is over the moon

Now Sébastien Reichenbach can take responsibility: at Tudor he is one of the best performing players. And the most experienced athlete.

He drives and drives, but almost never wins: Sébastien Reichenbach (33). De Walliser has been a professional for eleven years, taking part in 717 races and winning twice. “I don’t want to end my career with these statistics,” he says. That is precisely why Reichenbach switched to the new Swiss team Tudor Pro Cycling for the season after nine years in France with Groupama-FDJ.

On paper, this means he is relegated to second-rate status. It feels like the opposite. “I was a professional in France for nine years and I gained a lot of experience there. It was fun, I played the game. But you’re basically on the World Tour, unless you’re a star, just a number. There is no room for the weak. If it doesn’t work, you will be replaced quickly. Sounds brutal, but that’s the mentality.”

He does not want to be a classic leader

Reichenbach is in the autumn of his career. At the beginning of May, shortly after the Tour de Romandie, he becomes a father for the first time. “I’m happy, that’s really cool.” And he also seems to have found happiness in the team of cycling legend Fabian Cancellara (42). “People are central here. You ask why things are going well or not. It’s not just about the numbers, you talk to each other.”

This nest warmth suits Reichenbach well. In the Tour de Romandie, he wants to ride actively with Tudor, show himself, be in the top 10 of the general classification – or even better, win a stage. Although he is the oldest driver on the team, Reichenbach does not see himself as a classic leader. “I’m too calm and not selfish enough for that. I don’t have the character or charisma to play the patron. But I want to help my young teammates when they need me.”
