Who You're Working With
Ric Stern has been racing for 42 consecutive seasons and coaching since 1997. He's coached world champions, Paralympic medalists, the two-time Transcontinental Race winner, and riders onto national programs globally. At 11, he was told he'd never walk again after serious illness. Started racing at 14, came last for six years, reached 1st category, and is still racing at 56. Featured in Cycling Weekly. Invented the MAP test used by Zwift, Rouvy, and MyWhoosh. Published peer-reviewed research. Maintains power data dating back to 1994. This is coaching from someone who has lived every aspect of the sport.
What Real Athletes Say
"This is my second time working with Ric. Twenty years ago he took me from Cat5 to Cat2 in less than 2 years. I'm back now because I know the coaching works at the highest level."
— Rob (Zippy)
"I started coaching with Ric for ultra cycling around 10 months ago. I've never been fitter. Recently completed a 400-mile event thanks to his structured approach and phenomenal knowledge."
— Howard Parsons-Hewes
Plus: Ric coached James Hayden to two Transcontinental Race victories—one of ultra-endurance cycling's most demanding events. When James was interviewed by ITV about his wins, he insisted Ric join him on camera. That's the level of partnership Platinum delivers.
