Who are you, and what do you do? Tell us a bit about yourself.

I'm a Professional Triathlete, from the UK. I started this sport as a complete novice, and entered a race with a friend in 2010. I got the bug straight away and started to progress through the AG ranks until 2015, when I decided to give Pro life a shot. Since 2015 I've achieved 30 x Pro Podiums (6 wins), 2 x top 10 at the IRONMAN World 70.3 Champs, and most recently 5th at the IRONMAN World Championships in Nice. I've been proudly sponsored by Santini since 2021.

What is your favourite place to train, and what makes it special for you?

I really love training at home in Loughborough, UK. The variety of cycling (road bike and TT) is unreal, the 'Pool of Dreams' is fantastic and the running is even better. In terms of camps away, I love Mallorca, and Lanzarote. Italy is on my bucket list places to visit and do a camp too.

What is your favourite Santini item, and why?

This is a tough choice. But you simply cannot beat the comfort and durability with the Unico shorts. They really do feel like a second skin, I've had one pair for nearly 3 years now and they still look and feel like new. They're that item you tell all your friends they must have in their cycling collection, you know the item that goes straight in the wash to be ready to go again the next day, this is it!

What Santini piece or accessory do you consider essential for winter?

Jacket: Guard Neo: not only waterproof to the highest of standards, but highly visible too - key for winter and the dark dull days to stay and feel safe Alpha base layer: this is a must for winter riding, keeping the core super warm and soft feel for pure comfort Tights: The 'OMNIA' are a staple for winter rides, but also great all year round too. We have 3 x pairs and struggle to keep on top of them washed, we fight over who gets them in the household as we love them so much! They also have high vis on the bottom of the leg which is comforting as another item of clothing to make you more visible on the roads Shoe covers: The FIORD shoe covers. This is a must investment for your winter riding, the quality of the product will ensure these beauties last a long long time too. The Polartec Alpha Pile lining is SO WARM, and so cosy!

What Santini piece or accessory do you consider essential for summer?

This is a hard choice between the Ombra jersey and the Unico shorts, you'll just have to trust me when I say get both for your cycling wardrobe ;)
