A new community for cyclists. Opening to 10 founding members on Tuesday 1 December 2026.
Build your training puzzle. Once, and for life.
The Educated Peloton is a community where cyclists learn how training really works, and build their own training, with a coach and a peloton around them. I’m opening it with 10 founding members, who get one-to-one support from me and help me shape it.
10 founding spots. I review every application myself.
A community
A private place where we learn how cycling training works, speak the same language, and help each other build our own training.
10 founding members
The first riders in. For six months, they get one-to-one support from me, and their questions shape what we build.
One ambition
Make The Educated Peloton the reference community for cyclists who want to understand their training.
Where you are today
Training is a puzzle. And you’re always missing a piece.
You’re doing the effort. You invest time. You look for answers on YouTube, in studies, in new methods. And in the end, you have more questions than answers.
A fixed training plan
You buy a 12-week plan. It’s like starting a new puzzle: you’re motivated, and the first pieces fit together fast. You get better at the beginning.
Then it slows down. You plateau, and you can’t find the next piece. Worst of all, you just followed: you didn’t learn anything, so when the plan ends, you don’t know how to get to the next step. So you buy another one.
Too much theory
Threshold, FTP, critical power. Every video uses different words for the same thing, and everyone sells their own system.
You collect pieces, but they come from different puzzles. Too many terms, too much noise, and nothing tells you what it means for you.
Training alone
You know the theory, and sometimes a few pieces fit together. But translating it into a session, executing it, and analysing what works is much harder.
And every time you learn something new, you question everything you did before. So sometimes, you go backwards.
Whatever you do, a piece is always missing.
It’s easy to get the theory. It’s much harder to implement it in practice.
If it was only about following scientific studies, it would be easy: there are papers on everything. The missing pieces are your context, and knowing how to turn what you know into the right session, at the right moment.
And your context is not only the stress of your daily life. It’s how your body works, how it reacts to stress, and how you feel on the bike that day.
| Fixed plan | Self-coached | Having a coach | The Educated Peloton | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fits your context | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| You understand why | No | Partly | Partly | Yes |
| Expert eyes on your data | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| You can plan on your own afterwards | No | Partly | No, your coach plans | Yes |
| A community to learn with | No | No | No | Yes |
| Price | Cheap, then you buy another | Free, but slow | Monthly, as long as you keep the follow-up | €500, or 2 × €250. Course yours for life. Calls and chat optional afterwards. |
Two different destinations. With a coach, your training is in expert hands, every week: that’s what my coaching athletes choose. In The Educated Peloton, the goal is independence: you build the puzzle yourself, with a coach and a peloton around you.
After six months, your puzzle is complete. You know how to
Plan.
Organise your training around your life, and know which sessions matter most in a week.
Adapt.
Know what to do on the bike when you feel worse than expected, based on the goal of the session and the right RPE.
Execute.
Execute each session with the right stress, then analyse in your data what works for you.
Set for life, or three more months free.
If you do your part and you still can’t plan and adapt your own training at six months, you get three more months of the full program, free.
This is for you if
- You train around 5 to 12 hours a week, around a job, studies or a family
- You’re doing the effort, but you’ve plateaued and you don’t know what the next step is
- You’ve tried fixed plans, YouTube or training alone, and you have more questions than answers
- You’re ready to invest time in learning, not only in training
- You have racing goals, or you simply want to ride faster and feel stronger on the bike
- You want a healthy relationship with training, over the long haul
- You want to be there from the start, and help shape the community
It’s not for you if
- You’re looking for the next 30-day FTP challenge
- You just want a plan to follow without thinking
- You want to compare yourself to others
- You can’t make time for the calls or their replays
- You want someone to decide everything for you: then one-to-one coaching is a better fit
What you get
Three pillars to build your puzzle.
Your puzzle is yours. The peloton helps you build it.
Learn
You get all the pieces.
We build the same theoretical basis, so we all use the same terms and understand each other. Simple, and always applied.
- 7 modules, released step by step until 6 February
- From setting up Intervals.icu to training types, planning, execution, nutrition and strength
- Yours for life
Practise together
You see how they fit.
Every Tuesday, we look at your real problems together. One answer helps the whole group.
- Every Tuesday: a live Q&A call, with replays
- Every day: a members’ chat for your questions
- No comparison: everyone builds their own puzzle
Personal guidance
You place them in your own puzzle.
I follow you on your own data. You add me on Intervals.icu, so every answer starts from your context.
- 3 one-to-one calls of one hour
- Your Monthly Report: every month, you fill in a form, and I answer
- Private messages, answered within 48 hours
One-to-one calls and Monthly Report: the difference
One-to-one calls
Live, one hour, three times
The big picture. At the start, we understand your context. At three months, we do a full review. At six months, we check that you can plan on your own.
Monthly Report
Every month, not a call
The details. You fill in a short form: how your month went, what was hard, and your questions. I answer, looking at your Intervals.icu data, so you know what to adjust next.
Everything happens in a private Skool community.
Apply for a founding spotYour six months, step by step.
A live call every Tuesday, the modules step by step, and a one-to-one call at three precise moments.
Tuesday 1 December 2026
We start.
First live call. You add me on Intervals.icu, and we have our first one-to-one call to understand your context. Two modules are open from day one:
Until 6 February
You get the pieces.
A new module about every two weeks. Every Tuesday, we apply it to your real questions. As a founder, your questions help me build what comes next.
At three months
We check where you are.
Second one-to-one call. We look at what works for you and what doesn’t, on your own data.
The last three months
You put the puzzle together.
You apply everything to your own training. Every Tuesday, we work on your questions. Every month, you fill in your Monthly Report, and I answer.
At six months
Your puzzle is complete.
Final one-to-one call. We check together that you can plan, adapt and execute your own training. The course stays yours for life.
Your coach
Hi, I’m Antoine.
I’m a cycling coach and a sports science student, and I raced Gran Fondos before that. Racing showed me what training feels like from the inside. Science shows me why it works. Coaching is where the two come together.
Antoine Rouquette
On the bike
I raced Gran Fondos myself. In 2025, I finished 5th at the Tannheimer Radmarathon and 14th at the UEC Gran Fondo European Championships. So I know what a training block feels like from the saddle, not only from a screen.
In sports science
I did my Bachelor in Sports Science at the University of Montpellier and the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. Today, I’m doing my Master’s at the University of Strasbourg, with an internship at CEERIPE. Reading research and questioning it is part of my daily life.
As a coach
For four years, I’ve coached riders from amateur Gran Fondo riders to elite and professional athletes, like Kira Böhm, professional mountain biker with the Cube Factory Racing Team. Some of my athletes have been with me for more than two years.
From the riders I work with
“I feel like you know better than I do what I’m capable of.”
“The simplicity of Antoine’s coaching makes sustainable training and progress possible even after turning 50. After numerous attempts to get back into shape through various sports and other coaching programmes, I’d lost faith. No convoluted sessions, just simple exercises that are tested, adjusted, repeated and then implemented precisely.”
“Antoine has been coaching me for just over two years now. Thanks to him and his training method, we’ve managed to strike the perfect balance between making progress and performing on the bike, while managing my personal commitments. Structured yet flexible training, steady progress and a coach who really listens.”
“Antoine is my first coach, and today marks the start of our third year working together. He has enabled me not only to improve as an athlete, but also to grow as a person. A modern approach to performance, whilst never losing sight of the person behind the athlete.”
“He’s very comprehensive and realistic when it comes to your goals, and he truly takes other life factors into consideration. Thanks to his super detailed report, I was able to get a much clearer picture of my current fitness level and how I’m going to reach my goals.”
Why founders matter
This isn’t a course. It’s the start of the reference.
My ambition is simple to say and long to build. Today, The Educated Peloton is for riders who’ve plateaued and want to understand their training. Tomorrow, I want it to become the reference for anyone who wants to get into cycling training. Not the biggest community. The one people point to when a rider asks: “Where do I actually learn this?”
It starts with 10 riders. Your questions become the modules. Your problems shape the Tuesday calls. Your puzzle, built piece by piece, becomes the proof that this works. In a few years, when the peloton is big, you’ll be the ones who were there at kilometre zero.
You’re not beta testers, and you’re not doing my work: you get the full program either way. Shaping what we build is the founder’s privilege, on top.

Questions.
Is this a community or coaching?
It’s a community: we learn together, and you build your own training. As a founding member, you also get one-to-one support from me for six months, which is only for founders. My coaching is a different path: a full follow-up where I plan, adapt and watch over everything with you, week after week. The Educated Peloton is for riders whose goal is to do it themselves. And my coached athletes are in the Peloton too.
Do I get a training plan?
No. A training plan makes you execute. Here, you learn to plan, adapt and execute your own training, so you don’t need another plan after this one.
What level do I need?
You train around 5 to 12 hours a week. You can have racing goals, or simply want to ride faster and feel stronger on the bike. The method is the same: it starts from your context.
How much time does it take?
About 2 hours a week for the live call or its replay and the modules, on top of your training.
When are the calls?
Every Tuesday at 7 pm Paris time (CET), for 60 minutes. The first call is on Tuesday 1 December 2026.
What if I can’t make the live calls?
Every call is recorded. You can watch the replay and post your questions in the chat beforehand, and replays count for the guarantee.
Do I need Intervals.icu?
Yes. It’s free, and setting it up is the first module. You add me on it, so my answers start from your data.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. You can pay €500 at once, or in 2 monthly payments of €250. Same price either way, no extra fees.
What happens after six months?
You keep the course for life. To keep the weekly calls and the chat, you stay at the founder price of €29 a month, for as long as you stay.
Tell me about yourself.
The Educated Peloton is for cyclists who trust the process, not the next 30-day FTP challenge.
If that’s you, answer a few short questions. I review every application myself, and I come back to you to book a call.
