We have interviewed Nicola Casadei an enduro mountain bike
athlete sponsored by KeForma. He is one of the strongest italian riders of this
sport and during the 2017 season we will see him on the Enduro World Series
circuit together with his new Team CMC Cycling Experience Team members. Hi
Nicola, welcome to this meeting organized together with KeForma’s friends. Tell
us about your career up to today…
After starting your mountain bike
experience what are the most important goals you have achieved?
Hello
KeForma it’s my pleasure to be part of this. I started when I was 12 years old
riding a downhill bike and obtained some important results like the 12th place
during the junior World Championships at Rotorua NZ, I won two Italian
Championships and after a 5 year break I started enduro mountainbike achieving
good results right from the start. In 2015 I won the Italian Enduro Cup and
became part of the top 30 Enduro World Series rankings.
Is there a
competition you remember with fondness?
I remember dearly the 2015 La
Thuile race… I was running fast all weekend and during the whole competition I
was number one, then on the last part of the race I had to battle against with
Francois Bailly-Maitre. In the end I crossed the finish line in second place but
I am still pride of my race. I pushed myself to the limits all the time!
And
one you would like to completely forget about?
The 2016 Canazei race….
unfortunately I broke my meniscus and knee ligaments ruining all the season.
What are your 2017 goals?
My goal is to become part of the EWS top 20,
being competitive in every race of the season.
How do you schedule your
day?
I usually train in the mornings and other days during the afternoon.
Five days a week I ride the bike and two days a week I go to the gym. I also
schedule a well deserved resting day during the week.
When not riding the
bike, who is Nicola?
I try to be friendly with everyone, I like joking and
getting to know new friends.
Cycling and supplements… What are the main
aspects to be considered on these topics?
It’s very important to include
supplements both before and after exercising, especially when you train every
day. How did you get to know KeForma and why did you choose our supplement
products? I got to know KeForma thanks to my trainer and I liked them right from
the start.
Is there a KeForma product that you cannot do without?
