About ME

I was born in La Spezia in 1989. I strive to be a calm, friendly, and down-to-earth individual.I tend to observe rather than talk a lot, but I'm flexible and can adjust to differentsituations easily. Prior to a race weekend, I meticulously inspect my bicycle to ensure a senseof safety and relaxation. I prioritize common sense over rigid rules - I consistently act withrespect and empathy. Sports, nature, and family are my passions, and I relish in embracing lifeto its fullest!

Andreas Story:

How I got into biking ...

Inspired by my family's unwavering passion for both two and four-wheeled adventures, I embarkedon my cycling journey at the tender age of three. From the very beginning, I was captivated bythe exhilarating sense of freedom that cycling offered. It wasn't just a hobby; it was a passionignited by the shared enthusiasm within my family. Their love for exploration on wheels fueledmy own, and I haven't looked back since. 

In the beginning, I only had one bike, but it served me for everything: I rode it to the beach,to school, jumped in the skatepark, and traversed down the trails. I used it for training, forfun during happy times, and to unwind and release tension during sad moments. I was always onthat bike! The internet wasn't around, and I didn't even know what sport I was engaging in. Ihad invented it myself!

The best bike Region is ...

Of course, Liguria. I'm incredibly fortunate to live here. The climate isperfect, allowing me to indulge in what I love year-round. Our terrain isspectacular - we have trails here that will leave anyone in awe! What do Ido most with my e-bike? Discovering new places and trails and then showingthem to my friends. Since Liguria is ideal for biking year-round, friendsfrom the North often visit on weekends. Adventure is practically right atmy doorstep.

My best days on the bike can be divided into two groups. Firstly, there arethe cherished memories of carefree descents with my closest friends in oursmall hometown when we were young. We spent countless hours 'playing' withour bicycles, daring to venture onto trails. Reflecting on those days stillfills me with wonderful emotions to this day.Secondly, there are the moments of sporting achievement that have greatlyenriched my life. One of the most memorable experiences was competing inone of the first world e-bike races, where I found myself among riders whomI had previously only admired from afar through videos on television. Andyes, many of whom I even managed to outpace!When I think back to my teenage years, dreaming of becoming a professionalcyclist while admiring my idols solely through videos, and compare it tonow, where I often find myself competing alongside them or sharing a laugh,I truly feel like I am living a dream.

When I'm not biking ...

then I enjoy spending quality time with my family. In my spare moments, I engage in a variety ofother sports including climbing, surfing, motocross, and racing cars. Additionally, one of myfavorite pastimes is beeing a mechanic on sports cars and motorcycles.
