Interview for Trial-Inside.com by Frank Chastel

          Recently I met Frank Chastel on facebook, who liked my photos from my last photoshooting with Red Bull and he came up with the idea to make an interview about that, for www.Trial-Inside.com and post it, in the news area. I was very excited when I heard that and I accepted immediately :D. 
          To be honest, I don't know him too good but from what we talked, he knows all the history of biketrial and he did a lot for this sport. It's an awesome guy and I respect him a lot! Special thanks to you Franky and to Trial-Inside for promoting me! 

Here is the post on Trial Inside

Robert Kovacs: My name is Robert Kovacs, I'm 19 years old, born on October 25th 1990 in Oradea, Romania.

• TI: Could you speak about your bike? What parts are you using?

Robert Kovacs: My current bike, I think it's the best of all I ever had so far, it's so rigid, perfect geometry, pretty good weight (only 9,3 kg), but I'm still working on it to make it lighter.

• TI: Where did you make your last photo session?

Robert Kovacs: My last photo session took place in Bucharest, on the top of two buildings at Minerva and Metropolis Center, with Mihai Stetcu, Red Bull Photofiles photographer.

• TI: Are you sponsored by Red Bull? What are they using those photos for?

Robert Kovacs: Yes, I started the collaboration with Red Bull 1 year ago and this summer I became a Red Bull athlete. Well, they use these photos for media and stuff like that. All the pictures with the Red Bull athletes are available on a photo database names Red Bull Photofiles.

• TI: You competed at BiciCooltura where you got second place, that means you had a good day.

Robert Kovacs: Yes, I had a really good day, I won second place in elite class there, even if the weather wasn't the best, it was raining and the tracks were all slippery, but I enjoyed the contest and the racing. I think I did it well.

• TI: Do you think it's possible for you to race next year in the world cups?

Robert Kovacs: Hmm, as a first step I will race in the European cups... I don't know, we'll see my evolution and the results there. I think everything is possible, especially with Red Bull that gives me wiiings xD.

• TI: Are there any other trial riders in your town?

Robert Kovacs: Of course, there are like... approximately 10 riders.

• TI: Who is your favorite rider?

Robert Kovacs: Well, I like a lot the Coustellier brothers, my favorite is still and it will be Giacomo.
