Re: Pro Cyclists Can't get In Race Shape Indoors ? (some basic math) [devashish_paul]

After all these posts, I think what you guys are not getting is its not as simple as you guys make it out to be for a pro tour level guy to remove the the heat he would build up on a trainer to be race ready for the Tour de France. And they may be subconsciously reducing their highest end training load because of the heat buildup. And yes, I get that they may not do the volume on a trainer that they should be doing....I was mainly saying most of them probably don't even know their heat load and how much cooling they need.

We can debate that they are stupid for not removing the heat. I'd bet most of them had inadequate heat removal, because usually they just get most of their intensity from real world B races.


With all due respect, Dev....How would YOU know? The physics and the physiology is simple. And, yes...I'm sure we've thought of something that they never even considered...the all-knowing SlowTwitch community. You know...cuz they can't afford to employ someone with half-a-brain.

Some of that should probably be half-pink...but, I can't decide which part.

Besides, you've already been told by someone who KNOWS BETTER THAN YOU, and is a pro-level rider....its not that big of a deal. BUt, sure....keep beating your dead horse---well, trying to prop it back up.
