Oh yes he is a major trustfunder. Take away the parental bank role, try to work a job while coming up through the ranks and see how far you get Will.

No that's a different argument, Richards et al. 1998 are demonstrating that lactate efflux increases with exercise intensity, and without an intracellular depletion of PO2. That's just suggesting that some other component of O2 reduction pathway is rate limiting rather than supply of O2. They...

Ya maybe a top ten for Andy at the TdF at best. No way he comes back all the way, the psychological damage is done, he'll never be entirely fresh. Peaked early and is now past his peak, bet on it. Plus he couldn't TT at his best, so might as well forget it nowadays with the likes of the...

>Implying that there are at least 10 unique humans posting in the clinic.

STFU troll. Hikers cause FAR more damage with their inflated sense of entitlement and righteousness than mtn bikers per individual and en masse.

IDK, probably some of both, just like with all these guys Ferrari Bruyneel, etc. To be fair TD always seemed to have some talent that showed through as a junior-but so did dozens of other guys. As an elite XC mtnbiker through age 23 he was mid pack, until working with RC at FLC where he won...

Danielson, was terrible before he was working with Crawford! Guy could rarely finish a race. He was barely mid-pack at the NORBAs, then over the course of a year or so was transformed into a world class climber.

Interesting article on front page bout RC today. Who was the shadow Fort Lewis rider supplied with test? My guess is Anthony Colby or maybe Dan Bowman who both went on to decent domestic careers after time at FLC. Just a guess though although I know these guys personally. Rick is a really...

Yes and as typical after he stopped doping, his performances improved. Seems logical.

He started before Rasmussen helped refine his technique. Ryder was being mentored by Roland "clean" Green from his late teens remember. Former team mechanics and riders witnessed some very interesting equipment that rider would travel with on the mtnbike circuit. And then let's not forget...

Examples where small schedules work because each event gains more interest and importance American football. American nascar. F1. World Cup Rally. K-1. Cycling has a bloated mess of a calendar, who has time to follow even half of it?

Having trained with Ned quite a bit through the years I would suggest that no he did not train specifically for the HC either in his peak or even in recent years. The guy just loves riding and goes out and enjoys riding mtn and road bikes, he has enormous passion and enjoyment kind of like...

It's not that different. Why do pros usually decline and stop in their mid to late 30s? Actually you don't know. It just seems to be the historical norm. Is it because of their chronological age, or because they have ridden too much? In the US amateur/almost pro ranks we see quite a few late...

Riding bikes turns your posture into garbage, erodes your strength and makes you look like a ***. If you ride all summer skip the legs in winter and work on arms, back and core to try to maintain some semblance of manliness. Cycling is not really very good for your body if done in excess...
