Ivan introduce yourself to our readers.

Hello everyone! I’m Ivan Ravaioli, I’M34, I was born in Faenza, but
from 2006 I live in San Fior(tv).
I’m married to Katia and I have a 7years old son, Kevin.

Which is your background? and from which discipline do you come from?

Since I was 8, I can consider myself a rider, after all the young
categories, I had the opportunity and the possibility to ride for
three years in professional teams:
2003 Mercatone Uno
2004 Barloworld
2005 Saunier Duval
and from 2006 I’m an amateur rider.

How do you get in contact eith fixed gear?

Last year, a friend of mine, Omar Presti, talked to me about this new
category and then I tryed.
I loved it, from the first moment..so last October we decided to join
the last stop of red Hook in Milan.

Nyc Usa 25th of april! First try RHC, first place! Tell us your
feeling, before and after the race.

It was incredible!!.. maibe I’m not so original..I know.
After my second place in Milan in 2014, my ambition had a bit increse,
but I could not expect the victory, even because I landed in Usa, due
to some problems at work, at  12.00 a.m. of the same day of the race!

New look and new team for you this year, which are the sponsor that
supports you?

Our team was born last winter, we are friends(..) from a long time..
one night we were talking about fixed and suddenly we had the idea to
create a team and join all the race of Redhook!
This project has been possible due to Giacomo Preo, the director of
Bahumer beer, and other sponsors like:
MEM
KNIFE
SELLE ITALIA
TONY SPRAY
EUROVELO

Tell us your next goals for the future season.

My goal for 2015 is to be the winner of individual chart of red hook
and to be in the chart also with my team.

Thank you Ivan, for the time spent with us, we’re sure we’ll see you
as a protagonist this year!
do you want to add something?

Thank you for this interview! I hope to see you in Milan in October,
to make a toast all together maibe to my classification..with a
bahumer beer!
