Saw some video that said condition starts to go down after like 4 weeks of not riding.Did anyone find any good study how fast does form detoriate without training and how long does it take to get it back?
I was wondering if Roglič might not be 100% at the start of the Vuelta but might peak in the 3rd week when there is quite some hard stages..
But I don't think this was in world tier pro athletes, nor do I think it measured racing performance. I think basic metrics like VO2 wouldn't go down quickly, but he'd definitely be very rusty in racing conditions if he hadn't touched his bike for 4 weeks.
