Rule 5 Cycling Coaching

A word from the Head Coach himself – Ian Jenner

Our hunger is not for success but for excellence, because when an athlete attains excellence then success naturally follows. We embraced this philosophy during the past few seasons with the team at Birkirkara St Joseph and now with Bike It Up Racing in 2025. The development of riders such as John Camilleri, Daniel Briffa in 2024 and Matthew Portelli at the end of the season shows that hard work and consistency pay off with these riders on the podium of many races in Malta last year.

As a Coach I work alongside the riders running training camps, pre/post-race catch ups as well as designing focused individual training for the athlete based around the time and availability to train.

I have over 45+ years of experience racing bikes in most disciplines from Road, MTB and the Track as well as ITT, racing both in the UK and in Italy where Rule 5 Cycling Coaching is based.

For the past 11 years I have been a full time Coach with British Cycling and Training Peaks with the qualification to Coach the above disciplines. Over this time, I have been fortunate to Coach athletes from the Team GB Academy as well as many U23 Pro Continental riders and those racing and at club level too. I have good personal relationships with a number of current World Tour Teams, Coaches and cyclists alike.

It’s a pleasure to work with Bike It Up Racing and we look forward to more success going forward. There are several opportunities for Coaching this year, the details of which are attached.
