10% at about 20mph maybe (although I heard it's about 30% at 20mph) I think it's closer to 50-80% less effort in the peloton than it is up front on your own. They spend most of their time sitting in zone 2 I believe (on the flats) cruising along which is basically how they do it. Apparently, the best way to train for that is lots of slow(ish) rides to get your body used to using that specific zone where you are able to ride all day long at a decent pace (although I assume this 'training plan' expected you to already be able to ride at the pace you want.) On another note, anybody up for the London to Southend on Sunday 15th July? |

Is it just me, but I'm finding the Halfrauds adverts on ITV4 TDF coverage just a little irritating?
Is there anything special about the bloke I'm unaware of? Normally I don't have any problem with their adverts

Has anyone else made the comparison between Peter Sagan and Jorge Lorenzo?
Their demeanour, celebrations even their appearance are spookily similar! |

does this mean the net is closing..seems they are hell bent on getting Lance Armstrong. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/18788834
To expunge his 7 titles may be a bit extreme but I'm not au fait with all the ins and outs of the case

And yet there seems no hard evidence against Armstrong, just a whispering campaign by his detractors. He must be the most tested athlete in sport, nothing has been found.
Why not accept he is clean or produce real evidence? Put up or shut up I say. ![]() Sent from my phone. |

The article is here I believe http://www.cyclesportmag.com/feature...trong-the-end/
Grim reading but still not conclusive.
