Jonathan Chodroff interviewed by NY Velocity

Recent Valley of the Sun overall winner Jonathan Chodroff shares his thoughts on joining the top team in North America as a neo pro with NY Velocity.

On developing his domestique skills during the team’s winter training camp in Temecula, California:

My goal at the last camp was really that. They knew I was strong, they knew I was riding well, but I wanted to develop those skills ’cause that’s stuff I’ve never had to do before - get bottles for the riders, hang on to the team cars, all that stuff. I finally got it, having ten bottles in my jersey, hanging on to the team car was a little nerve wracking, but I got the hang of it. I think they were impressed with how much my bike skills developed in one week. I was talking with Tim Johnson, in one week I learned so much, every day one of the riders…one day Bobby Lea was showing me some descending tricks, Tim Johnson helped me the entire week. The development in that one week was like two years on the bike for me. It really made a big difference, it makes me more confident going into the season. Now I know I’ll be able to support the team.
