I guess that such a jersey would make more riders and teams concentrate on time trials. You might have won more races with periodization and tapering. We will never know. Gray Congratulations on your win, you earnt that. On the subject of tapering, without knowing your exact training regime, I would imagine each week had a pattern on training intensities which included a degree of tapering e.

In this sort of micro training cycle its not quite as obvious as tapering for a stage race or miler. I get your point though. Emil Marcetta: TT Olympic time trial flat??!! What about the slipstream that benefitted AC in the Annecy time trial??! Furthermore, one of the fastest descenders. Bejing or Tour de France and Tour de Suisse prologue won in the descent. That was outrageous. Even FC mentioned it to the media. FC is brilliant there while many others and AC especially are not. It is the ability of the muscle to continue to operate at high output even with a build up of lactic acid.

It is something that climbers are noted for having lance having had the best ever in his prime but it could also be influential in a TT.

It in theory would allow a higher max wat output for a prolonged period of time under oxygen deprivation, sounds like a TT to me. In running track events say m to , we see runners consitently better than others at a given distance and worst at another distance. Over time this focus pays off. FC could win at numerous aspects but focuses on TT. Humor me and assume I had the same fitness as FF. Why would he beat me? I miss the human drama of basketball where everyone knows Jordon will sink the last shot with no time left— how come noone can stop him?

AC was probably faster at the end of the Tour because of recovery. The tour winners do not fatigue as fast and recover very well, thats one of the reasons they win 3 week races. Just out of curiosity, having myself managed :. But I am gladly amazed at just how fast the best time-trialists are! One very interesting component that that coach wrote his article about was flexibility. The other rider discussed from the same team was Andy Schleck, who is no doubt, well known for losing races due to his inability to time trial well.

The author said that Schleck was NOT very flexible and thus could not generate big wattage like Cancellara. It was something they were trying to improve with Schleck but he is very stubborn and likes to concentrate on climbing. I am curious about this train of thought and am wondering if there are any other thoughts in this avenue. It is my intention to increase my own flexibility first-hand to see if I can get any positive results.
