Name: Alex Simmons
Nickname: I answer to many things. Sometimes even Alex works.
D.O.B. The Dark Ages
Registered With: Bicisport CC
My Cycling Hero: Erik Zabel, until he admitted to using EPO.
Goal Event/s of 2011: UCI Road World Cup (paracycling) & The Turbo Studio Christmas Party.
Favorite Event and Why: Team Pursuit. It’s got everything a good racer should aspire to: superior power, a high level of technical skill, precision teamwork and laying it all on the line.
How I Got Into Cycling? A mate took me into a bike shop so he could pick up a pair of cycling socks. Curious, I figured I’d one up him and so bought a bike. And shoes, and a helmet and jersey/knicks and well I was racing soon after and totally hooked....
Motivation to Join Turbo Studio Team Sponsored by Vantage Freight: I’m a sponsor! Excited to race as a unit with some quality guys, who happen to also be pretty decent bike riders too.
When I’m not Cycling or Working I’m ...... pondering the wonders of the Universe

and .... A cycling coach by profession and Director of RST Sport, I love all thing power meter related (I even sell and hire them) and especially helping my far flung clients become the best they can be through world class application of evidence based coaching principles.

They are located across the globe: in Central and North America, the UK, Europe and Australia. It’s especially rewarding to see our Turbo Studio clients respond to the devious challenging training sessions I plan and hearing about their personal bests and great results. Despite earning a university degree in mathematics sometimes after the dark ages ended, now days I can only count to 15.

That’s on account of losing an argument with a gate one day in 2007 while out training, and doctors deciding I’d ride much faster with one less leg.

They were right.

Today I hold a State able bodied cycling record and a State Title with my team mates in the masters team pursuit. Be careful though when we go out for beer, after just one I’m legless.
