Ha. Yeah, not enough 'upstroking', or maybe the wrong cadence, wrong seat angle, or coz I forgot my beetroot juice

^ No arguments there. But as I said, if people have conducted research as to what is the best post-race strategy they haven't published it, and maybe for good reason.

Not all practices come from peer-reviewed studies. Sometimes they may want to keep it "in-house" for a reason.

Yeh, but for someone to claim it has performance benefits. Well it's just that, a claim, even if their "research" tells them it works, we have no way of verifying. We simply don't know.

There was one I read using 100km TTs where active recovery was no better/worse than neutral/cool water, there was no control though...

Come to think of it don't FdJ or someone like that use a cryo machine?

I just stumbled across the Vaughters' quote.

I'd say maybe 10% of the peloton cools down, while the rest just jump on the bus straight after the sprint. Cycling sometimes is so backwards it amazes me.

Hey, new member who just happened to first post in support of Sky in the Clinic then ran down here to make another dubious post in support of Sky, nice job cherry picking one sentence when the rest of the article summarizes studies that conclude there is no posiitve effect other than suddenly stopping exercise might cause dizziness.

Will someone make brodeal an admin please.
