Alberto Elli

Retired ProRacer

Alberto brings a lifetime of world-class cycling experience to every ride. With an incredible 11 Tour de France appearances, 6 Giro d’Italia starts, and a second-place finish at Milan–San Remo—not to mention four days in the coveted yellow jersey—his résumé speaks for itself. Yet beyond the results, Alberto’s true gift is sharing his passion for the sport. He still powers effortlessly up the climbs of Lake Como, guiding with calm confidence, deep knowledge, and a storyteller’s charm. Riding with him is not just a ride—it’s a glimpse into the golden world of pro cycling.
