What is even more impressive: she has won the competition while finishing her medical studies. During the semifinals, she had one of her final exams. So on top of being a doctor, Tanja can call herself a professional cyclist as well.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Erath\u2019s road to becoming a cycling pro isn\u2019t a common one. Where most riders climb the ranks through the youth categories, Tanja started focusing on cycling just one and a half year ago. After competing in\u00a0triathlon for about 16 years, the German native was forced to quit that challenging sport because of an unclarified but chronical leg injury that made running too painful.<br \/>\nText: Date Burgerjon<br \/>\nHeader Image: Dan Zwift<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"770\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EP4NcKyENmo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tanja was introduced to fixed gear racing by her boyfriend, <a href=\"http:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/riders\/jan-hoffmann\/\">Jan Hoffmannn<\/a>. In September 2016 she tried riding a fixed gear bike for the first time. Only two weeks later she raced her first fixed gear crit, finishing in second place. This year, she represented team Fixedpott and participated in most of the NL Crit Series races and all the Red Hook Crits. Of the 12 fixed gear crits she competed in, she won 7. She took 3rd place during the Red Hook Crit in Barcelona and finished 5th (the final podium spot) in the overall Red Hook classification.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of June, Erath started in both time-trail and the road race of the German nationals in Chemnitz (Mecklenburg), finishing 21st in both events. All good results but not anything that gets you a contract at a Women&#8217;s World-Tour team.<\/p>\n<p>When we talked to Tanja <a href=\"https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/training-with-date-tanja-erath\/\">earlier this year<\/a>, she told us about her wish to turn pro and that she might give it a go this winter. She didn\u2019t mention having Zwift Academy already on her mind. \u201cI heard about it last year. But I was too late to enter.\u201d This year Tanja made sure she was on time. \u201cIt was my season goal, to give it a try and see if I could go pro.\u201d<br \/>\nWhile most fixed gear riders took a break after Milan, Tanja had to keep her fitness to compete against more than two-thousand women on Zwift. The competition comprised three rounds. There were fifteen tasks to be done in the six weeks of the first round. Based on power and racing data Zwift selected the best ten for a second round (seven tests in two weeks). At last Tanja had to ride a final in Koblenz against Norwegian Siri Hildonen and Bri Torkelson (USA).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14341\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14341\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-14341\" src=\"https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SMQ_\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_2890-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SMQ_\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_2890-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SMQ_\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_2890-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SMQ_\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_2890-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SMQ_\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_2890-1-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SMQ_\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_2890-1-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SMQ_\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_2890-1-740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/SMQ_\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_2890-1.jpg 1501w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14341\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Dan Zwift<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Even though Tanja just finished her studies it wasn\u2019t a hard choice to join Canyon\/Sram. \u201cI got the email that I made it to the finals. It said to think about it, sleep a night on it. Because taking part\u00a0means a lot of travelling and racing. And you have to move to Spain. Within two minutes I replied. Yes, I\u2019ll do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Making the final, Tanja and the two other finalists joined the team at a training camp in Germany. \u201cIt felt a bit uncomfortable in the beginning. Mechanics that clean your bike, people who washed your clothes. I\u2019m used to doing that myself. But once I got to know everyone and they got to know me, and what I can do on a bike, it felt natural. The girls where all so supportive and gave me the feeling they wanted me to do well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look forward to being part of a team during races. This year I was always the lone wolf. But I prefer being part of a team where I can help my teammates, and they can help me. But what I look forward to the most are all these gorgeous races. I saw some of the races I might be doing like the Tour of California and the Tour of Yorkshire. I will be travelling around the world riding my bike, what\u2019s not to look forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With all the racing in the Netherlands and all the Red Hook Crits, Tanja was already living a cyclist life. \u201cWell sort of, I did what I loved. But it was all next to full time working. Taking flights on Friday evening and racing the next day and then flying back on Sunday morning. It was stressful sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The life of a pro cyclist isn\u2019t stressful? \u201cYes, of course, it will be. But you can focus on the cycling part, and you don\u2019t have to have a\u00a0different life next to it. So I think it will be great.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14340\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14340\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-14340\" src=\"https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9TinoPohlmann_Portraits_Erath_TPO_CANYON_SRAM2019_122017_P116740-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9TinoPohlmann_Portraits_Erath_TPO_CANYON_SRAM2019_122017_P116740-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9TinoPohlmann_Portraits_Erath_TPO_CANYON_SRAM2019_122017_P116740-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9TinoPohlmann_Portraits_Erath_TPO_CANYON_SRAM2019_122017_P116740-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9TinoPohlmann_Portraits_Erath_TPO_CANYON_SRAM2019_122017_P116740-370x278.jpg 370w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9TinoPohlmann_Portraits_Erath_TPO_CANYON_SRAM2019_122017_P116740-270x203.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9TinoPohlmann_Portraits_Erath_TPO_CANYON_SRAM2019_122017_P116740-740x555.jpg 740w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9TinoPohlmann_Portraits_Erath_TPO_CANYON_SRAM2019_122017_P116740-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9TinoPohlmann_Portraits_Erath_TPO_CANYON_SRAM2019_122017_P116740.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14340\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Tino Pohlman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Isn\u2019t Tanja a bit scared for her big adventure? \u201cI just hope I don\u2019t disappoint. They told me that I have huge potential and they think I can be a strong rider (sprinter). I would like to live up to those expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The big question: Will Tanja be racing fixed gear coming season? \u201cEverybody asks me that. I don\u2019t know yet. We haven\u2019t talked about it, and I don\u2019t know if it will fit my race schedule.\u201d If it were up to her? \u201cOf course, because I love those races. And the Red Hook Crits are so well organised. I had so much fun this year. And the competition is great as well. You have such strong girls like Raphaele Lemieux, Carla Nafria and Ash Duban. I would love to continue racing with them.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe the team is interested in a Canyon\/Sram girl racing Red Hooks. If not, I\u2019m fine with that, but I will surely miss the fixed gear scene then. The fixed scene has given me a lot; I made friends, the other riders were so helpful, and they still support me so much. I received so many texts and messages the past week.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>First of all, Tanja is going to enjoy a real short \u2018off-season\u2019. \u201cIt\u2019s December, and I had no time off. It has been a tough year altogether. I worked in four different hospitals, moved three times, raced and travelled a lot, did my final exams and did Zwift academy. So I\u2019ll take some days to go home for Christmas and have some time off with my family. I won\u2019t ride my bike there and will not think about numbers and watts.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14339\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14339\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-14339\" src=\"https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_3149-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_3149-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_3149-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_3149-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_3149-370x554.jpg 370w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_3149-270x405.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fixedgearcrit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/\u00a9danfzwift_Erath_camp_DSC_3149-740x1109.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Dan Zwift<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tanja Erath (28) earned a pro contract with Canyon\/Sram WorldTour team, winning this year\u2019s Zwift Academy.
