Re: 2024 Pro thread

Swimmers have 3000-4000 m sessions before 7 am, 7 days/week, it's been like that for more than half a century. I had a classmate who had swim training every day before school! His body was on another level than everyone else at school :lol: I had to do this. Ride to swimming. Then ride my bike to s...

So long before he knew MVDP's form this season.
Nothing to do with being afread to lose...

Re: 2024 Pro thread

Were the CX worlds even in Pidcock and Wouts race calendars when they announced them or were they just maybes?

Re: 2023 Pro thread

Rachel Atherton crashed in DH practice and dislocated her shoulder. Popped it back in place on track, with help from Nina Hoffman. Really hope she recovers and can qualify and race. Story on her Insta

It will be nice to see if Pogacar wins the worlds... better than the TdF, imho.
Then he rides 2024 TdF with the rainbow jersey.
I'm gunning for MVDP, maybe Pidcock even? Hopefully Pogacar and MVDP have recovered enough to make a good go of it

Re: 2023 Pro thread

Ketones maybe? Would you take ketones AFTER the TT? I haven't done a ton of research or tried them, but I was always under the impression that you took them before an event activity to use as an energy source. Do they also provide some recovery benefit? No idea. That's why I said maybe. We know TJV...

Re: 2023 Pro thread

I think it's wrong to compare Cav and Merckx. They are two completely different riders. Merckx is a legend. Cav is a sprinter. I don't see sprinters as legends - no matter how many wins. Sprinters completely rely on other people to work for them. They can't do anything themselves. If Cav had a lot ...

Re: 2023 Pro thread

Gutted for Cav. I hope that's not the end of his season. Didn't he say in a press conference that this was his last year racing?
