"You cannot achieve anything without Passion"

I was born in Athens, 20 May 1993.

Since 2008, I have been actively participating in road and track cycling as a member of the Hellenic National Cycling Team and representing my country in some of the greatest cycling events around the world.

I have been awarded 27 times as a National Champion and I have broken 7 National Records. Some of my major achievements include a Bronze Medal at the World Track Cycling Championships and a 4th place at the European Championships.

Hitherto, I have been elected as an emerging talent from the Hellenic Association of Sports Journalists.

For me cycling, it’s not only about highlighting my skills and talents. It is a passion, which follows me throughout my childhood.

This year, I am racing for Veranclassic-Ago, a professional team based in Belgium. With my team, I will participate in pro cycling races mainly in Belgium and Central Europe.

Regarding my studies, I graduated from high school with a final grade of 19.4/20 (First) and was accepted at the Athens University of Economics and Business, in the Economics Department. I managed to graduate with a grade of 7.64/10 and I got accepted in London School of Economics and Political Sciences to study my master’s degree in Accounting and Finance.

John is a young man and a great athlete with great potential and talent. From the first moment we met him, we believed in him. We support his aptitude for cycling and strength to carry out the difficult goals that he has set.
