Question 1

What type of MTB coaching do you offer?

I offer private, personalized coaching in mountain biking, Enduro, Freeride and E-MTB for adult riders. Each session is built around your riding level, your goals and the type of terrain you want to master.

Question 2

Are the coaching sessions private?

Yes. One-to-one coaching is the main format because it allows me to focus entirely on your riding and progression. Small groups can also be arranged for riders who already know each other and have a similar skill level.

Accepted Answer

The coaching is mainly designed for adult riders who want to improve their technique, control, confidence and ability to read real trails. More technical sessions require previous off-road riding experience.

Accepted Answer

The coaching is adapted to three levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Your level is assessed not simply by speed, but by your technical skills and the type of terrain you can ride with control.

Can I book coaching if I ride an E-MTB?

Accepted Answer

Yes. E-MTB riders are welcome. The coaching is adapted to the characteristics of the bike and to the type of riding you want to improve.

Accepted Answer

Coaching takes place in carefully selected riding areas across Northern Italy and the Italian Alps.Depending on your level, goals and the time of year, sessions can take you to Pila Bike Park, Morgex and Courmayeur in the north-western Alps, with the best Alpine riding from mid-June to late September, or to the Piedmont Lake District, with Borgo d’Ale, Pogno and Colazza offering year-round riding.

The duration depends on the type of coaching. Standard sessions are generally around four hours, but the format can be adapted to the rider and the objectives of the session... Multiple days can also be planned.

There is no fixed programme that is identical for everyone. We assess your riding, identify the areas that can be improved and work directly on real trails through practical exercises, repetition and specific riding situations.

Question 11

Do you use video analysis?

Accepted Answer

Sì. Quando utile utilizzo videoanalisi e un sistema di interfono per poter Yes. When useful, I use video analysis and an intercom system to provide feedback while you are riding. This allows technical corrections to be made in real time and reviewed together on the trail.
