Jonathan Freedman is the founder of the Team Gino Bartali, where their mission is to keep Gino’s legacy alive through helping others. Gino was a cyclist from Italy who won both the 1938 and 1948 Tour de France, but much more importantly, was part of a team that saved many Jewish people during the Holocaust. His actions of courage and bravery provided the necessary documents, shelter, and food to help bring many to safety.
Jonathan’s team keeps the same strength and courage through charity cycling rides to help others, as well as retracing Gino’s path on a bike in Italy with the Israeli National Cycling Team.
His articles on Linkedin provide great insight to cycling, and there are lessons in his writing that any sports coach, player, or fan can use to be a better teammate.
