When did you start cycling?
When I was seven years old. My dad got tired of cycling with me early in the morning every weekend, so he signed me up for a youth team.
Greatest sporting successes
Podium finishes in stages of races like the Grand Prix Adria Mobil, the Czech Cycling Tour, Grand Prix Isola, Tour de Yorkshire or at the Tour of Oman. And the overall win of the 2018 Red Hook Criterium Series, but I’m sure there will be more successes to come with the Pushbikers.
Where do you like to cycle most?
In my area, near Padua and Vicenza; the Colli Euganei is of course my favourite place to cycle.
What have you learned for life through competitive sport?
To respect other people.
Which place in the world would you like to travel to?
To some wild places, with a backpack and in search of adventures.
What does cycling give you?
Cycling makes me feel young and I can be with people.
