Head to head

A chat with Peter Fill

Do you remember the first time on a bike, and how long has it been?

Yes I get rich very well he was in front of my house. The first few times I had enough difficulty finding balance, but after two hours then I understood the techniques and after that no one stopped me!

Remember your first racing bike?

She was a pink white DeRosa IDOL. I've always used DeRosa and had the chance to try so many different moldelli. I currently use the King with which I have a great time.

What was the job you dreamed of as a child?

I wanted to be a skier!

What do your friends say/like/hate about you?

I don't know! But they have to accept me the way I am.

Do you have a secret passion?

My passion and sport, especially sports in the mountains.

What is your favorite cyclist of all time?

I don't have a favorite cyclist. But I like riding bikes. It was part of my training when I was an athlete and now I practice it to keep fit.

What's your favorite place to ride?

At my house on the Alpe di Siusi, where I know all the climbs and descents. I like to shoot in the middle of my mountains at home.

What was your most beautiful victory?

Definitely the descent to Kitzbühel, where I won in 2016. The most important and difficult race on the white circuit.

What was your strongest teammate ever?

I've done 18 years in the World Cup and I've had a lot of strong teammates. But the strongest were Kristian Ghedina at the beginning and then Dominik Paris.

You get recognized on the street, and the kids ask you for an autograph?

It depends a little bit where I am but every time someone stops me for a picture. It's still nice, not least because it means you've done something important in your sport.
