you will need to ask Michelle, she only knows.
If he had a good woman behind him, wouldn't he be on a tandem?

I've heard he has metal knees and hips, and these feature motors to make it easier to drive his legs.

Either that or this is his job and he is bloody good at it, and his management are even better at theirs

Four things:

1) Natural ability
2) A complex personalised training plan designed to help him maximise said ability
3) Lots and lots of hard work and sacrifice
4) Mad arms
 
Ok I love the guy but he has the spindliest legs I've ever seen on a professional racer and seems to spend all his time in what looks like the granny gear. Where does he get 430 Watts (approx.) from?!:whistle:
Discuss.


Most likely from a greater preponderance of smaller, slow twitch muscle fibres, as compared to bulkier, fast twitch fibres. The composition is natural and genetic, but I believe training can also help, making fast twitch muscles behave like slow-twitch fibres.

As a Northerner living down South, let me just say... :cry:
Marginal gains, Brailsford has them flown in especially wherever they are in Europe, what with them being a Kenyan speciality and all that.

I've been exiled down south for 25 years, curry sauce is about as good as you can get, and no-ones even heard of scraps down here.
