I started on enduro and downhill bikes. Switzerland turned me to the road and the clock, where small numbers decide everything.

Coaching started at home. I coached Elena Hartmann informally to her first Swiss time trial title. Then came aero testing, and then a small group of riders I coach one-to-one.

I still race, and I test on myself first: my own aero test, my own power files, my own bad days. In 2024 I finished 4th overall and 1st in my age group at the Villars UCI Gran Fondo qualifier. I know what a plan feels like when work wins the week.

Credentials
  • Master of Science, Human Movement Sciences
  • Bachelor of Science, Exercise and Health Sciences
  • TrainingPeaks accredited coach
  • IRONMAN U certified coach

Three rules.

  1. The file decides

    I ask how it felt every week. The plan moves on what the data shows.

  2. Ranges, not false precision

    Every number is labelled lab, field or estimate.

  3. Your real week

    A plan you can follow beats a perfect plan you can’t.
