Every journey begins with a sudden idea and every successful decision begins with a thought. And so it was with our distributor from Down Under, Australia. In March 2018 Tony was in Barcelona, when during a morning run with a client he suddenly had the idea of joining a short triathlon challenge in Australia. At the time, he knew nothing about cycling; his usual sport routine was running and going to the gym. So, back in Australia, he began to learn cycling and bought his first bicycle. Who would have thought that just like that, from a morning run in Spain, Tony would enter the wonderful world of cycling.
Cycling is not just about sport and fitness, it's also about finding balance. That's how in life, Tony has brilliantly found the balance between training and running a business, because remember, Tony is also a businessman. According to him, the secret of balance is self-discipline and passion for perfection, because so anything you do in life will be going in the direction you want it to be.
Push your limits - this is the credo in life, not only for the team Yoeleo, but also for Tony. He likes to get out of his comfort zone, test himself and try new things: "I am an individual who loves to push new limits and loves a challenge set for myself." So, together with some friends, they made a challenge and rode 500 kilometers for 16 hours straight. "I wanted to demonstrate that age is no barrier to achieve what seems to be impossible if you set your mind for it and are willing to push your limits. I wanted to be the inspiration to others to complete this challenge at over 50s of age," Tony says of his experience.
Tony's collaboration with Yoeleo was also an interesting twist. During the pandemic a lot of cyclists had trouble buying bikes and parts, the inflated prices seemed unaffordable for beginners. After a careful analysis of the market and brands, Yoeleo was, in Tony's opinion, the best fit in terms of philosophy and business ideology. A 16-year history of carbon products, UCI approval and partners worldwide were the final factors in the decision to work with Yoeleo.
