Folke early days.
Folke was born in the province Uppland in a small village near Stockholm. He was named after his great great great grandfather who was a trader from Germany. His name roughly translate in people (Folke) who come with the bird flock. (Fogelstrom)
Pro OCM rider.
Already at an early age Folke had a great love for the bike. Folke was never the best climbing or sprinting talent but his willpower and overall talent was recognised. At barely 19yo he became one of the youngest pro OCM riders. After some extra race training he was the third rider in OCM history with an AV of 58.
Early career. (25yo)
Folke strength is also his weakness. Being so allround he has trouble winning races. He managed to get top 9 in tours, TT, hills, sprinting and climbing races.
Greatest achievements.
- Germany.YC.
- Gevelsberg Classic.
- Best u23 rider season 36.
- 2 top 3 in Easter Egg.

Damnit. This guy is starting to become my nemesis. First he beats Witham in Germany Tour YC a couple of seasons ago and now he beats Hannibal in the World Championships... :(
Congratulations though!
How can you have a section called 'early career' for a rider only 25 years? That would be like Chris Froome writing his autobiography, as early as age 28! Oh wait...
Good one
