RAINBOW COACHING

Unlimited Access. Total Commitment. Maximum Results. Ultra-premium coaching for riders who leave nothing to chance.

Rainbow isn't just more coaching calls or extra features.

It's a fundamentally different relationship.

Unlimited access to Ric throughout the week. Every single workout analyzed in detail. Daily nutrition tailored to your exact training load. Quarterly deep-dive reviews to optimise everything from fueling to body composition.

This is coaching for athletes who understand that the details separate good from great—and who refuse to leave performance on the table.

What Real Athletes Say

‍ ‍"To me the RST Sport team is my Formula One pit crew, ready to squeeze every ounce of performance from my body. Whether it be aerodynamics, nutrition, training, testing, racing—every facet of my performance is recorded, measured, calculated and analysed finding improvements in speed, efficiency and recovery. RST is my personal sports institute devoted to making me faster."
— Michael Freiberg, 2011 World Champion (Elite Men's Track Omnium)
"Ric and I met virtually as I am based in the US. Fantastic coaching for the 6 months for which I could commit. The programming was doable and he adjusted according to my performance needs. I came through winter in a much better position than I would have otherwise."
— Suraj Yalamuri
