Filippo Ganna

Bobby and Jens

Filippo Ganna is utterly unique in the men’s peloton. At the time of recording Filippo was just a week short of his 27th birthday yet he has a palmares that is remarkable in its breadth and scale - he’s won six stages at the Giro d’Italia - including five straight time trial stages… and a mountainous breakaway. He’s the reigning hour record holder, yet finished second at this years’ Milan San Remo. He spoke to us just before winning his first week-long stage race at the Tour of Wallonie as he prepares for the Cycling Super World Championships in Glasgow and La Vuelta…. Where he’ll be looking to add to his six track world titles and his two world time trial titles… and did we mention he’s also a reigning Olympic champion?

Filippo speaks to us of the brotherhood of cycling, his plans for the future in the sport and shares his thoughts about life on the road.
