The end of the racing season is the best time to focus on the technical part of our bicycle. It is right to “slow down” physically and mentally from training and, both for the competitive cyclist and for the amateur, in view of the following year, it is advisable to focus on optimizing the riding position, especially if you plan to change the bike or parts of it.

Andrea Morelli, head of the Movement Analysis Laboratory and of the cycling sector of the Mapei Sport Research Center in Olgiate Olona (Va), guides us in discovering the existing bike fitting methods focusing on some key aspects such as the saddle, the pedals, the shoes and the type of handlebar used by the athlete.

Searching for the correct position on the saddle is fundamental, before being performing, to avoid annoying pathologies. This service offered by Mapei Sport is therefore recommended not only for the professional, but for the cyclist of any level, even without competitive ambitions.
