"The influence of the car on riders is not as great as people think.": Langeveld about transferring tactical considerations from the car

Sebastian Langeveld will combine team leadership at EF Education-EasyPost with his new role as head of scouting at the WorldTeam. His management SEG Cycling reported this on social media.
The now 38-year-old former cyclist was already involved in scouting for the American team. For example, together with the other scouts, he recruited the Dutch club rider Jardi van der Lee. "I did not do that alone, but I am partly responsible for scouting and recruitment," Langeveld said after that surprising transfer. Now he will be ultimately responsible for scouting.
Langeveld also remains active at EF Education-EasyPost as sports director. He will mainly be in the support car during the spring classics, his specialty as a rider. The former rider made his debut in that role last year. "In fact, I have been an extension of the team management in recent years," he said in April. "Only I'm on the other side now. But I think it is a healthy interaction, that it is balanced."
"On the bike I could read the race fairly well and act accordingly. Just transferring that from the car to the riders in a constructive way is a challenge. I have never underestimated that, but I am well aware that transferring tactical considerations from the car is something completely different than when you are on your bike. The influence of the car on riders is not as great as people think."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
