Since he is getting on in years, he needs to be careful about overworking his body, but he still posts his strength training stats online to show that he means business.
‘It’s absolutely a lot of work,’ he admitted to Red Bull. I take care of my body by going to the gym regularly and consistently increasing my riding distance and speed.
Whenever asked about his daily routine, he would say, “Riding is always the major priority, and my day revolves around it, therefore everything I do is to maintain or get better.”
D. Dhers is driven to compete against younger opponents in part because he is an Olympic silver medalist for his country, having finished second in Tokyo to Logan Martin of Australia.
