Gianni Vermeersch (born in 1992) is a cyclist who has made cyclocross his life (Belgian national team) combined with a recent activity on the road, a discipline that in the early years had held in the background in favor of cycloross. He has never been one of the most prominent athletes on the cycling scene but boasts very interesting placings even in classic cycling monuments, such as the 15th at the Paris-Roubaix in 2021 and the 24th at the Milan-Sanremo.

CICLOCROSS

This is the discipline that has brought greater satisfaction to Veermersch: As a junior, he conquered a 5th place at the World Championships in Tàbor (2010). Among the U23s, bronze at the 2013 European Cyclocross Championships and, curious statistics, 10th place at the U23 World Championships in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Also as Elite he has conquered various top 10 at the Cyclocross World Championships.

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
