In Slovenia, Planica nordic centre:Techincally you can, but its not usual. Kolobnev's hotel near Valencia where Remco and Van der Poel often go is the only one that I know of, though there may be more.
Meanwhile they are banned in Italy and for Italian athletes even outside of Italy. Frankly, I find it absurd and the Italian NADA and laws should just be in line with the WADA code, because this way you're only hurting your own athletes.In Slovenia, Planica nordic centre:
ten rooms (20 beds) in the Dom Planica hotel (up to 6000 meters above sea level), test facilities (up to 6000 meters above sea level) and sports halls (up to 2500 meters above sea level).
Also Chat GPT was banned in Italy. 🙄Meanwhile they are banned in Italy and for Italian athletes even outside of Italy. Frankly, I find it absurd and the Italian NADA and laws should just be in line with the WADA code, because this way you're only hurting your own athletes.
At least with Chat GPT I can understand the privacy concerns.Also Chat GPT was banned in Italy. 🙄
I know that "alpinists" are using this hotels too, before going to Himalaya.
Banning nutri-score is a good thing thoAt least with Chat GPT I can understand the privacy concerns.
Meanwhile stuff like the altitude tent ban and Italy getting all butthurt about stuff like nutri-score and banning it (because stuff like olive gets a bad score) is just a joke.
Ben Healy broke his hand in February and trained indoors for several weeks. Since then, he's been flying...
So you are saying that breaking your hand is the new ultimate marginal gain?Ben Healy broke his hand in February and trained indoors for several weeks. Since then, he's been flying...

Lots of folks do it but you need a pressurized indoor environment. If you have one, it's preferential to sleep at altitude and train harder at lower elevations. Then go to higher outdoor rides to gauge the benefit. Or do your hardest efforts at lower elevations and long rides higher up.Genuine question, why can't you altitude train indoors?
If a wrist injury doesn't heal, every severe bump in the road becomes your biggest aggravation over a 5 hour race. It's not something you could ignore for long.It is unlikely to make you faster, but hardly a big disadvantage as many claim

I guess we wont know or see until the Tour is underway.Not sure why his injury shouldn't heal. It's a wrist fracture, not brain surgery. Surely by the time he has to race in mid-June the injury will no longer limit him. The question is how much the injury affects the preparation....
Wrist injuries aren't like breaking a femur. There are many nerves running through the area and, while gripping and pulling may be possible it isn't always pain free. Healy's situation could be different but I think both guys will be fine. Tadej, in particular has enough history and success to take the time needed for long term recovery. He had some hardware added which can complicate comfort. He knows what he's doing.That's 100%. But Healy had been racing for a month and a half after this and was in pretty good shape.
i really dont think you can compare 'broken wrists' among athletes. Who knows the severity or placement of each oneThat's 100%. But Healy had been racing for a month and a half after this and was in pretty good shape.

We were wondering on why Jan Polanc isn't racing with Pogi anymore. It was confirmed some heart issues were discovered and Jan decided to put his health and family ahead of his cycling career and has retired from racing.
Didn’t Matthew Hayman win Paris Roubaix after a broken arm too?So you are saying that breaking your hand is the new ultimate marginal gain?
