Rúben Silva

I'm the Editor in Chief of CyclingUpToDate, since it's creation in January 2022. In the past I've written previews for my own blog 'Echelons Hub' and Ciclismo Internacional as well. I've helped create our sister websites and develop the team, which I am in contact with: CiclismoAlDia (Spanish), CiclismoAtual (Portuguese), WielrennenUpToDate (Dutch) and RadsportAktuell (German). I come from the Porto metropolitan area, Portugal. I have a bachelor's degree in Geography but I've climbed up the ladder in the cycling world through my own blog and contact with the community. I've used this platform to give back, and my goal is for CyclingUpToDate and all our websites to be as successful as possible. In the English language, we've managed to become one of the most read websites, from scratch, in the space of 1.5 years. Over my few years in the job (and a few more as a mere hobby) I've conducted around 60 interviews, including riders such as Tadej Pogacar, Primoz Roglic, Wout van Aert, João Almeida, Tom Pidcock and Sepp Kuss; managers such as Patrick Lefevere and Joxean Matxín; and Youtube personality Bryan Kenedy (BKXC). This includes online interviews, press conferences and pre/post-race work - in road cycling and cyclocross. If you wish to request an interview; Collaborate on a personal project/podcast or one related to the websites; Share behind-the-scenes knowledge into the world of cycling... Then reach out to me.
