The rain jacket - an underestimated means in Grand Tour GC battles, with Jai Hindley, Wilco Kelderman and Primoz Roglic. Class will run weekly during the winter break. The practical training is an essential part of this class, so unfortunately it can not be held digitally. Sessions 4, 6 and 8 will be done either in the Basque country or Scotland.
  1. The rain jacket and its parts - material, breeches, zippers, sleeves
  2. Putting on a rain jacket - theory
  3. Putting on a rain jacket - praxis
  4. Putting on a rain jacket under difficult conditions, such as wind
  5. Putting on a rain jacket on a bike
  6. Putting on a rain jacket on a bike under difficult conditions, such as wind
  7. Putting on a rain jacket on a bike while climbing
  8. Putting on a rain jacket on a bike while climbing under difficult conditions, such as wind
  9. Taking off a rain jacket with and without the help of a (team-)mate
  10. Final come together with hot coffee and no rain. Feedback. Possibility to share personal experiences with rain jackets.
 
Prof. Alejandro Valverde is also teaching the classes:
How to race an entire race with 7 layers of winter cycling gear to go along with this one, how to find 7 layers of winter cycling gear and which order to put them on in so they all fit correctly
How to race an entire cold/rainy GT stage in layers of cold weather rain gear -- thus no need to worry about zipping, unzipping rain jackets

In response to the 2014 Giro, Rolland, Gautier, Quintana and Hesjedal are not allowed within 200 metres by court order but Uran has expressed his interest in attending.
