BIO
I live in Coggiola, a small town situated in the north of Italy. I’m a rider of the FRM Factory Racing Team and I’m the Italian Enduro Champion (2013-2014). I love riding all type of bikes but the enduro bike is my favorite because with her I can do everything! I’m a lucky boy because I travel all over the world with my bike for racing.
I started racing in 2003 with an XC bike and after a few years in that “world” in 2010 I changed and started my career with the enduro bike where I got my best results to become Italian Champion in 2013 and participate in all the EWS around the world.
INTERVIEW
What are you looking for to accomplish?
I’m looking for to be constant in the top10 of the Enduro World Series.
What would be your greatest achievement?
The podium in the EWS in Italy.
What kind of difficulties does your sport’s performance involve?
It involves a lot of aspects. You must be really good on your bike in downhill, you must be powerful but also have a good resistance because in a race you can pedal for a lot of hours, also more than one day.
What makes you feel satisfied when performing your sport?
When at the end of a race I know that I rode my best and I pedaled stronger than my possibility, and I had fun during the stages.
Where do you practice your techniques when being alone?
In my hometown in Coggiola, but rarely I’m alone because my brother Denny rides with me.
What do you do during your training which is key to your success?
I try to have fun during my training and stay focused on my goals.
What are you most nervous about when competing?
I’m nervous when I know that I didn’t do my best in a stage.
Who would you say is your biggest fan and why?
My family because they follow me during the races and they encourage me to do my best.
What is the best piece of advice you have been ever given?
Have fun even when I’m on the bike and try to ride clean and follow the flow.
What are your future plans?
Try to win my third consecutive Italian Enduro Championship.
What are your tips for those who begin now?
They must have fun when they are on the bikes, go riding with the friends and try to learn as much as possible from the riders with more experience.
