Rico Rogers is from New Zealand but currently lives in Australia. To be exact he raised in Palmerston North. Rico started out on mountain bikes and was quite successful at it. Eventually he took a break and started real life. By the time he was 28 the bike racing bug had bit him again. This time he decided to focus on road racing.

Rico decided if he was going to race he might as well do it in the heartland of bike racing better known as Belgium. He did quite well in Belgium but eventually ended living and racing France. He didn't quite enjoy the racing there so much so he ended up leaving and moving to Melbourne, Australia. Once in Australia the wins came quick and fast.

The opportunity to race the Asian circuit presented itself and he jumped feet first. He raced in Tour of Hainan, Tour of China to the Tour de Langkawi to name a few big time races on the circuit. Some of the interesting teams he raced for range from Giant Asia racing team, Synergy Baku Cycling Project to OCBC Singapore Continental Cycling Team.

Rico officially retired in 2016. He's currently the CEO at Box Altitude High Performance where some of their clients include some the world's top cyclists.

It's awesome to meet someone you admire and they turn out to be really cool.
