20. Biography
I started cycling at the age of 11 and quit cycling after one
month in favor of water polo. I have continued to play water
polo for 3 more years but with no great results.
So, at the age of 14(2001), on my birthday I decided to join
Dinamo Bucharest cycling team. Most of the time I was doing
my training on the track and road.
After I won 3 national champion titles at track in 2003, I have
started to race on the road. That year I won my first National
championship at Time trial.
Since 2005 I am racing also at Mountain Bike Cross-Country
and Marathon.
I am a Complete Rider with great ability for many types of
racing such as sprinting, climbing, time trial and stage races.
