Biography
Hailing from the small town of Neslusa, Martin turned pro in the summer of 2022 recommended by his many excellent results in the junior ranks, and has since gradually developed under the guidance of the Soudal Quick-Step staff. Not only he contributed to many of the team’s victories, Martin also scored some impressive results on an individual level; in addition to a big solo number at Gullegem Koerse – Belgium’s most important kermesse – he took runner up-at the Nationals and an incredible silver for Slovakia at the U23 World Championships in Zurich, where he braved the bad weather en route to his second medal in two years – a first for a Slovak rider at the competition.
“I am very happy to continue together with this amazing squad, to whom I am incredibly grateful for their unwavering support and trust in me even in the moments when things didn’t go as we all wanted and hoped, due to injuries I had to face. I feel great here, it’s the perfect squad for me to grow, discover new races and explore what I am capable of, that’s why this new contract motivates me even more for a season where I am ready to leave everything out there every single time.”
