About me

My story

After my road cycling career end, I’ve started a full time job as a Sales Area Manager in the automatic packaging machinery industry ( quite a big industry in this Region).

This has taken me on a heavy international business schedule (over 100 flights per year), a constant jet lag and a totally different environment for trying to keep me fit while travelling.

In these years I got inspired from colleagues and friends, customers able to combine a successful business and a strong passion for sport.

One of the most challenging is triathlon so during a weekend in Sao Paulo, my friend Marco decided to let me join a brick session with his local team, with a 70km bike ride and a 15 km run. The first attempt was a disaster but I was amazed how the body was able to adapt to different motion and style.

After this first experience I started to practise triathlon and committed to my first 70.3 race in Spain. Here’s some of the main results:
