Matthew Riccitello might only be in his first year in cycling's World Tour, but he's already made a big impact. Few neo pros ride a Grand Tour in the first year… fewer still tackle the very first on the calendar…but that's exactly what Matthew Riccitello did in 2023.
In this conversation he shares his personal journey to the sport of cycling - from the foot of Arizona's Mount Lemon, to Lux Racing, Hagen Berman Axeon and finally to the pro peloton with Israel-Premier Tech. He opens up about life on the road, his future goals and shares his own "pinch yourself moments" since entering the world of top level cycling.

Michael Rogers

His palmares is amongst the most unique in cycling's history. A Paris Roubaix winner, a champion at Paris-Nice, three Tour de Romandie titles and of course - in 1987, the Triple Crown which saw him join Eddy Merckx as the only men in the history of the sport to take home the Giro, Tour and World Championships in the same season. As we discovered, he's a capable raconteur off the bike too with more than a few enchanting stories of his time on the bike.
In this conversation we learned how the extraordinary 1987 season came to be, and how when it appeared his opponents held the upper hand, Stephen found a way to power back.
