Matan Sopher has been immersed in endurance sports since a young age. He began racing triathlons early on, finding success in the sport and competing nationally. He ran at a varsity level for three years throughout high school, helping his team toward a county title. Despite his love of running, recurring injuries forced him to change gears.
An endurance junkie at heart, his intense desire to constantly push himself drove him toward cycling. He has since raced at the UCI level and gathered podiums at races across the country, all while growing holistically as an athlete.
He currently resides in Tucson, AZ, pursuing a degree in psychology at the University of Arizona while balancing racing for the school cycling team and the domestic elite team, Landis/Trek Cycling Team.
