WHAT DOES MATTIAS RECK SAY?

MATTIAS RECK

Head coach at Lidl-Trek and a former professional rider; has personally coached Mads Pedersen since 2017 along with a group of the team's WorldTour riders

Mattias Reck is the coach who took Mads Pedersen from a raw young neo-pro into a world champion, Grand Tour stage winner and one of the most durable Classics riders in the sport — and he did it over the better part of a decade. For the Roadman audience his value is a rare, honest window into how elite fitness is actually built: not through a secret session, but through years of patiently learning how much load one athlete can absorb, and treating recovery capacity and consistency as the things that set the ceiling. He is the antidote to copy-the-pro-spreadsheet thinking.
