Biography

Despite the legacy of his grandfather, who finished on the podium of the Tour of Portugal, Fabio Silvestre turned his attention to cycling only at age 16. Straight away he started winning, both in time trials and in sprints. His ability in both skills is largely demonstrated in the palmares he gathered in the Portuguese U23 Road and Time Trial Championships. In the 2012 season, Silvestre is determined to help the team win as much as possible and hopes to come out victorious himself when opportunities arise.
