I’ve been a big @kogel_bearings fan for many years. They have some really cool stuff, in particular the colorful products which match my pink charity Cannondale. It makes the whole bike pop up! Have you seen the @dangerholm limited pink edition? That one would fit perfectly!

Also, If you’re a rider that takes good care of her/his bike and likes a yearly teardown & rebuild, and you look for every performance advantage that you can get on your bike, Kogel sounds suited for your needs.

These awesome people have agreed to a collaboration for the next season, but I need your help by hitting the link in the bio.

This year was a tough mf but I am stronger than this. I am lucky to have the best family around me, great friends and people to support me. Some of the sponsors decided to move on but since 2020 with the Covid and everything related is understandable.

Others gathered themselves so we've re-started again the collaboration. You will find out soon. Many thanks to everyone in the #Cannondalefamily for having my back!

Not many races at all this year but instead I had the luck to race the National XCC and XCO Championships in my hometown with the best generation of Romanian riders we've ever had.

After 8 years with Cannondale Factory Racing, my good friend @avancinimtb decided that is time for a change.
8 years, with highs and lows, 20 National Champion titles, Marathon World Champion, XCC and XCO World Cup Winner.
I still remember the first time we've met, how cool it was chat with you and share our thoughts. During all these years you were inspiring me, among other riders around the World, simply because I know how hard was for an athlete that doesn't come from a country with a huge tradition in this sport. But you have succeeded. You have shown to everyone that everything can be done.
You were, are and will be an inspiration not only as a rider.

I will always keep everything in my heart!

Obrigado Ave! You are the real Presidente! 💚💛

Octombrie este luna conștientizării cancerului de sân, iar Garmin donează o suma totală de 100.000 € mai multor organizații caritabile din Europa care luptă împotriva cancerului de sân.

Organizația din România către care se va duce un procent din această sumă este Fundația Renașterea

Te invităm să ne implicăm împreună!

E simplu și rapid:

Instalezi aplicația ViMove (Android sau iOS), îți creezi un cont pe care ulterior îl asociezi contului tău de Garmin Connect. Mai multe detalii despre instalarea aplicației și crearea contului găsești in documentul atașat.
În secțiunea Teams, din aplicația ViMove, te invităm sa te alături echipei din România > Fundația Renașterea.

Faci mișcare, orice-ți place ție (de la mers pe jos la golf, echitație, fotbal, alergare, ciclism etc), iar cu fiecare activitate înregistrată suma donată către Fundația Renașterea crește. Ajută-ne să clasăm România cât mai sus în topul celor 23 de țări participante, pentru ca procentul donat din suma totală să fie cât mai mare.

In 2015 I've raced in Val di Sole for my first and last time.
It was something that I will remember for ever, like every World Cup I had.
Racing with all the stars from the 𝑜𝑙𝑑 & 𝑛𝑒𝑤 generation like @julien_absalon, @ninoschurter, @fontanaprorider, @manuelfumic, @wolframkurschat, @florianvogel, @jaroslavkulhavy, @miguel.martinez17 and so many others . This was also the last race as a pro for @ralphnaef and I still remember his duck horn.

Good luck to my friends that are racing today in the Valley of the Sun
@avancinimtb, @vladdascalu, @simon_andreassen, @alanhatherly, @maxime_marotte
Wish you all the be on the podium!

It has been a long journey and to be honest, to built this 10th pink Cannondale was the toughest so far. A lot of setbacks that are caused due to all the hard times that we are living did not helped at all.
But with some great friends and sponsors around I can move any mountain. So I would like to thank every one of them for making this possible.

I have never dreamed that I might reach this magical number of pink bikes that would support the people in my community and beyond. Letting others know that preventing is better than treating and to everyone who's fighting remember: you have cancer, cancer never had you!

This new bike, the Cannondale Scalpel-SE(nder) is the best so far. Bigger, faster, lighter.

În România, se vor scoate indicatoarele STOP, Cedează Trecerea, etc. pentru că îngrădesc dreptul la liberă circulație.
