His BMC was the same- long and low.

Prob from his track background. That kyphotic hump in his upper back doesn't look too pretty and his pelvis isn't too rotated, but shit, guy can ride a bike really fast so it seems to really work.

I never look at power, I never train by power.


PR/marketing suicie for Garmin Vectors


:roll:

*sigh*

Just goes to show that 1) not all pros are that bright, 2) contradicts himself in the same paragraph about team Sky 3) probably doesn't "train by power*" because of 1).

*training by power is a good indication he doesn't get it. Training by power and recording power data are two very different things.
