@RodSiegel I wonder how trainable optimal cadence is.

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@RodSiegel Depending on the cadence (if within more normal numbers) I think this would depend more on force required than cadence.

@CyclingGraphs @NaichacaCycling Would it be hard to make a few estimates? It would be interesting as the the bikes are better is a big excuse for the newer climber speeds but I would like to see what difference a bit of a change in cda or RR would make to the times.

@BenjiNaesen Yet groves closed fast with a peak of 1424w and 10sec at 1236 🤔🤔

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@BenjiNaesen Who do you think is the best sprinter now is also a good question. There are so many factors that go into it. Finishing speed someone like cav is still up there with the fastest. Jasper is very fit at the moment with a good leadout so wins often does this make him the best?

@ORION_coaching Good thread here! I can't believe the number of people drinking the kool aid!

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@GregLehman Is it an one or the other or an and. For say the 30 rep. Mark would you be better to train mostly 3-5 reps with some more endurance based sets. If we think of the physiology they are probably driving somewhat different adaptations.

@LoosDieter His performance is multiple standard deviations from already statistical outliers as far as their performance goes. The really difficult thing with this is it can't be explained by any of the traditional doping. Pog did a great TT and was destroyed.

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@Scienceofsport Statistically he is such an outlier from everyone else. These are other statistical outliers from the general population. It doesn't make sense. I can't even fathom what doping would give this sort of improvement.

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@BenjiNaesen How does the best in the world beat the second best in the world by (likely) more than an A grader would beat a C grader. The difference here is ridiculous and I don't think there could be that big a statistical difference between them

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@BenjiNaesen On a straight road as a team alpecin go from the right side of the road to the left side of the road (with mvdp) then all the way back to the right (with jasper) all in the last approx 500m. Very poor form and no relegation as there wasn't a crash. Another jakobsen moment coming

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@MI_9_23 @faustocoppi60 A smart team wouldn't push with 15 to go. They would stay out of the way but together if something happens with 11 to go they have a full team of fresh riders to get it back together in the last 10. They would know it saves stress and riders legs

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@faustocoppi60 The way it is now you have full sprint trains and full gc trains all fighting for the front spot it is what is causing the issues. In the past it would just be a sprinter and a few guys or a gc rider by himself now that it is whole teams it has got a lot more dangerous

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@faustocoppi60 10km makes sense. If something happens at 11km to go people have time to get back on. If it's at 3km to go there is no chance to get back on. Make the rule that you have to make a reasonable effort to finish the race in a timely manner while vague will make them not take the piss

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@JeroenSwart This is 100% the key thing, it's so easy as coaches to miss the forest for the trees. Monitoring load, progression and consistency is so important.

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@INEOSGrenadiers @DanBiggles22 A more aero Ganna is a scary prospect...

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@oliversracing @InForm_Racing_ @MEMILprocycling @bridgelane @STGCCteam @aca_cycling The dots look like Sam Hill is in there do you guys know if this is the case?

[Nero Coaching @NeroCoaching]

@Alec_Pedaler @BritishCycling Here's the 'helpful' response we received when we asked about this earlier in the year. Asked some follow up questions about why but no response. I don't buy a liability argument. The US is incredibly litigious, haven't heard of any cases like that, and loads use cameras there.

“False sense of security”—high tech gathering of 49 tech thinkers was held in 4 day “bubble” without mask mandate after arrival+daily testing. Result? ~43% (21 of 49) of tech attendees got #COVID19 soon after, including organizer @PeterDiamandis. 0% of masked support staff. 🧵
