马尔科·马尔卡托(Marco Marcato)

He’s gone from roller-skating to bike riding. Marco was born in San Donà di Piave, in the Venetian province, an area where skating is very popular; so it’s no surprise that when he was a kid his mother signed him up for figure skating lessons. He became quite good, enough to participate in several competitions, but in the meantime he was also competing in bicycle races for kids, until he decided that he liked the larger wheels better.


He was very good in school and attended University for one year, before cycling became his full time job.


His parents own a small trattoria restaurant where they serve typical Venetian fare.
