Articles written by Alberto Fossati

Technical editing
My passion for cycling has always been there, ever since I was a child and my bikes were those with training wheels, but it wasn't until the early 1990s that it blossomed into competitive riding, thanks to mountain biking. Mountain bikes have taught me a lot, especially in terms of technique and handling, a true background that has only increased my curiosity season after season. I'm a cyclist, before being a technical journalist.
