AG TRAINING · FOUNDER & HEAD COACH

Ali Gülcan

A coaching career built on national team and professional cycling experience.

National team rider and professional cyclist

Ali Gülcan represented Türkiye in international road races as a national team cyclist from 2005 to 2016. He later brought the experience gained in national team camps and a demanding race calendar into his coaching.

From 2014 to 2016, he competed professionally with the Belgium-based Start–Vaxes Continental team. His overall and stage results in international stage races contributed to Türkiye’s ranking points for the 2012 Olympics. At the Presidential Cycling Tour of Türkiye, he received the Most Successful Turkish Rider and Fair Play awards.

Coaching and sports management

He founded AG Training in 2017. In 2019–2020, he served as Sports Director and Head Coach at Brunei Continental Team, responsible for training plans, rider recruitment and international race operations.

Today, he works with AG Training riders at different levels, from those developing their cycling skills to athletes pursuing regular performance goals.

The AG Training approach

His coaching combines safe technique, a strong aerobic base, controlled training load, data monitoring and sustainable progress. Alongside racing goals, it supports weight management, fitness and consistent exercise. Personal milestones, such as confident clipless pedal use or readiness for group training, matter as much as race results. The aim is a lasting sporting routine that fits each athlete.
