- To progress where, the path Ineos took?
- Also, it’s not only in cycling but in any high pressure or physical environment. MVDP was perfectly healthy before the day’s exertion but then forgot you should never go recover in aircon post race.
More normal people also notice the line between health and sickness is not so easy to judge, how many of us know the following scenario:
You’re heading towards vacation but have a ton of work and things left that must be done before. You manage and look forward to relaxing as you reach your destination only to fall ill immediately for “no apparent” reason.
When we try to fool our mind, it just prepares for payday, sometimes years or decades down the line when we can hardly connect the dots that got us there anymore.
- Yes indeed the vagaries of whats healthy and whats not swim in a human melting pot.
- The two most divisive people in QST would be Pat Lef for his mouth and Remco for demand of support as well as their negative media impact on the team. Both gone would at least allow QST to progress in peace
- He is going to crack hard in the third week and may end too tired to try for stage wins and out of the top 10
- It’s not a line and certainly not fine, it’s a misty cloud, that’s why everyone disagrees what is ok and what is not and who should get to decide.
- Should get interesting, in the blue corner, the fans who want spectacle right up to the limit even though that means you go over regularly, on the other those who try to prevent things getting worse or too bad.
- Weird article, starts off about one person then switches to another.
- That description is so spot on, “smelt blood”. It’s amazing how much that instant when you see a guy in front of you slowing can motivate you into going for it when you felt you were already at your limit. It’s even more amazing how you can pretty accurately feel hundreds of m to go whether it will work or not. Your body just seems to know exactly how much you need from its secret reserves, a bit like when you feel you have to find a loo fast but the closer you get the more you feel you need to work to stay safe though from experience you know you always make it in the end, no matter how close you feel you are to the limit :-)
- I love how he just doesn’t give up for his goal and though it would be great to see him rewarded, I’m convinced he’ll never turn into that bitter old man constantly thinking about what eluded him. He may be sad at retirement but once the mourning is over, I’m sure he’ll continue to find ways to continue to contribute to cycling positively.
