about me

I am an elite bike racer, blogger, and cycling coach. I raced the likes of Mark Cavendish and other pros, enabling me to combine theory from coaching with practice as an athlete. My curiosity guides me to current research, great ideas, and inspiring stories that help us become better and faster cyclists. In 2024, I will return to the national road series, national championships, and UCI Racing.

hi, I'm roberto

I began writing online about training, nutrition, motivation, and gear in cycling in 2022. Since that time, my work has been read by thousands already.

I am a high-performance athlete who participated in pro races against names like Mark Cavendish. Cycling always fed my obsession for self-improvement and my desire to move. Cycling is my way of expressing myself. In contrast, I started running as a balance, which soon inspired me as my hobby.

I always was and am a competitive person. Overall goals and competitions partake of something magical: They empower us to take action.

With my interest in endurance sports came the curiosity to understand the “why” in training. Consequently, I attended the german olympic coaching development program.

what makes my work different?

IĘĽm not your typical coach. Much of what I write about or do is contrary to conventional endurance coaching:
  • IĘĽm an athlete myself. I do all the training I suggest myself and experience the world of competition on both sides.
  • I believe in research and prescribe evidence-based workouts that are simple but effective.
  • I see myself as the bridge between the scientific community and the greater community of endurance athletes. If an approach is not applicable in daily life, itĘĽs useless.
  • In todayĘĽs data-driven world, cyclists focus on way too many things, yet neglecting the most important one: Building long-term endurance performance.
  • Great ideas and inspiring stories guide me to make better coaching decisions and become a better athlete.
My broad coaching philosophy helps me to adapt quickly, do my best, and remain open.
