MEET THE COACHES
Fränk Schleck’s breakthrough year was 2006; after starting it with fifth at Paris–Nice, he scored a brilliant solo victory in the Amstel Gold Race. Three months later, after a solid sixth overall at the Tour de Suisse, he made his Tour de France debut. The Luxembourger rode solidly for CSC Team leader Carlos Sastre before taking a prestigious stage win at L’Alpe d’Huez. Over the remaining 10 years of his career, Fränk won a dozen races—notably the Giro dell’Emilia in 2007, a second stage win at the Tour de France in 2009 and a stage win and the overall title at the 2010 Tour de Suisse. But perhaps his best all-around performance came in the 2011 Tour de France, where he was top 10 in seven stages and finished third overall.
After 13 years as a professional bike rider, he’s still in love with this sport and decided to share this passion with everyone and make them feel the same way about cycling as he does. He believes in sports, in its power and positive effect on the quality of life.
