ABOUT NCS
OUR STORY
FROM A PASSION TO A COACHING BUSINESS
Nankervis Cycle Sports grew out of a deep love of cycling and learning, and wanting to share both with other people.
Tasman Nankervis started NCS more than 10 years ago. At the time he was studying a Bachelor of Exercise Science and a Master of Exercise Physiology while racing World Cup mountain bike and UCI Continental road. So it's safe to say his education was tested in the real world from day one.
In 2026, Kobe joined as our first Associate Coach, bringing current research and an approach that first the values NCS was built on.

TASMAN NANKERVIS
Head Coach and Accredited Exercise Physiologist
Tasman’s passion for coaching grew out of his own professional cycling career. That experience, and years of working with athletes, taught him there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to performance.
Tasman holds a Bachelor of Exercise Science and a Master of Exercise Physiology (2019). Alongside coaching, he works as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist, helping people manage injury, illness and chronic disease. He also offers rehabilitation for athletes, with a strong background in managing the overuse injuries common in endurance sport.
His coaching philosophy is about building a lifestyle that supports both performance and long-term health. That starts with communication: getting to know each athlete so their training fits their life, and making sure they understand the purpose behind every session.
KOBE HENDERSON
Associate Coach and Accredited Exercise Scientist
Kobe knows NCS from the athlete’s side: Tasman coached him for several years before he became the first Associate Coach in 2026. He’s raced for a UCI Continental road team and across Europe, Asia and the USA, including the elite race at the 2024 UCI Gravel World Championships.
Kobe has completed a Bachelor of Exercise Science and is an AUSactive Registered Fitness Professional. He coaches age-group triathletes, elite road cyclists and first-time gravel riders alike.
His programs are research-backed and favour quality over quantity, with a strong focus on off-bike strength training. He’s also upfront about what the science does and doesn’t support.

ATHLETE STORIES
WHAT OUR ATHLETES SAY
"I loved my time with Nankervis Cycle Sports. Tas was always supportive and able to help me understand how my body was reacting to the increased activity.
Tas was able to incorporate a full calendar of Gravel, MTB and CX races into my training schedule as well as the flexibility to still catch up for a ride with mates."
