Forgot to add that most riders get faster in a mellow type speed ride. By increasing your cardio, you are increasing your ability to stay at a set speed. However, when you kick, you will have the ability to go faster and faster easier. Yet still not wear out as fast. Pro riders tend to spend...

I sorted it out. I don’t ride with my hands on the drops often. Only if it is me pouring out that last bit of power in a sprint type situation. And even then it's on the flat part of the bars and not the curve

I rode it 2 times. Fun ride, Powerline is no joke as a few thought in 2018. I think it should be in the Lifetime series. Great race often not considered by some

I'm not at all being negative. Just saying I don't get excited about younger guys anymore after seeing so many not become much.

Maybe, but until a rider hits 20-ish I don't think how good they are. The reason is for example Pogačar. Young and he was good and now Amazing...but so where a few as he was coming up. And where are they now?

Thanks. I will be measuring it and see what needs to change. I think it is the bars to seat distance. Which is a simple fix. Right now I am pretty sure, without having my bike in front of me, it's too far. Causing me to feel odd after a few miles. When I 1st start out, everything is fine. But I...

I am having some problems getting my saddle set to the right height. I have used many methods. My most typical is heel on pedal, leg should be almost straight. Thus when you are on the ball of the foot in the saddle you are supposed to get proper knee bend. However, I still get a slight pain at...

I have always seen improvement in my form overall on the bike with a 50 to 70rpm in almost every gear ratio has caused my speed and power to go up. Some days are easier to do this, others are a grind as we all know. But, as you gain that ability to easily spin 50+ RPM in your hardest ratio...you...

Great video. I got it years ago from my former boss at Trek.

That is an example using a simple number. QS could be paying him 25.6mil for what we know

I have also read Remco wants to be on the same team his whole career. And that money is less important than that. With QS being based a Belgian team, I think he might be serious. And as he racks up wins and sponsors, his pay will increase even if his team pay is not what he is worth. Something...

Exactly. The races that include mountains are going to be won by riders that are training and good at climbing. The only real even type terrain is cobblestone. Yet even they have certain riders that have an ability to ride them better than others

Plus, who is to say he can't ride still and win? He has started many times that he is not 100% and is just trying to get back to that. He is busting his butt to do so. All that seems to be missing his the burst and his ability to hold high watts. But, his numbers say as the Vuelta went on. He...

I have to say Roglic. However, I can see a case made not for rider of the year, but domestic I guess. And it could go to multiple members of JV. As well as other key people on other teams like Carapaz.

Yes, but you have to Google it. Many sites offer it as free...but it isn't. But a few are free or dirt cheap
