What is your winter cycling training? β
it would be great to see cameron get a win .
Swimming is my winter favourite training……π
on Sproza sports television, Thibau Nys will step out from racing for three weeks. He has announced that he has run out of batteries. What a pity. Is he under pressure, is he unable to manage victories? What do you make of this?
Quite a lot of swimming and weight training, only to look good in speedosπ
How does the modern pros winter training compare to Dan Lloydβs winter training from when he was a pro?
Where will all the GCN+ content go?
The orange turn is also amazing
What will become of the GCN+ content?
thumbs up for the "quaking race" π
Last year I was driving in arctic circle near the Yukon River, Alaska, and passed someone bicycle touring south. The temp was around -30F According to someone we talked to at one of the very few truck stops, they were touring from Barrow Alaska to the south point of Chile. With around 200mi between truck stops in the northern section and their slow pace, they clearly had to camp between those stops. Training in -24C temps suddenly feels easy in comparison!
XC skiing has been proven to improve VO2 Max by as much as 20% in a season on normal people in a study by Dr. Max Testa.
The last sprint stage was 2020 when Alexander kristoff won the yellow Jersey
my Sunday 2023 season PENULTIMATE ride was a virtual 134.821KM 2965M monster in a "staggering" 5h 50m 08s – a peak career in metres climbed for a single ride + longest day in the saddle – ONE more ride to go before we dust off the jogging shoes to chase down WVA
Mercifully the brown shorts are gone . Unmercifully , the time for GCN+ is almost gone.
Those are geese, not ducks. Ducking get it right. π
Sepp got 2 KOM's yesterday, just saying
WVA swiss army knife
DAN. Please help us out (GCN+ subscribers in the US). When you hear of any places to watch cycling over here (except Flobikes and Peacock).
Much appreciated.

Looks like itβs on a slack API.
Also, itβs pronounced βgiphyβ
teasing us in the US about upcoming cross races in January… ouch.
how to watch now?
Ben OβConnor was in Perth for a bit more than a week, putting in some serious kβs throughout a week long heatwave. Makes me wonder if heβs climate training for the tour down under.
Do the pros get paid by Strava to share their performance info with fans and rivals? I can understand transparency during the season, make sure the numbers make sense, but winter training should be stealthy, I would think.
23rd Dec = "a must watch". And how exactly do we watch it? Australia for example…?
oh jeez, the Internet must pay to view the pain, and agony of dem feet. #gcnplus
Note:
Last time a sprinter fougth for Yellow Jersey on the first stage was 2020 with Kristoff
How do you watch the cyclocross races in Belgium? Do you simply go to the course or do you have to buy some tickets in advance?
When was the Tour de France 2025 routes revealed? I don't remember to see or hear Christophe Prud'homme announcing anything? Are you guys time travellers?!
Seattle has been incorporating the Canada Goose in cyclocross for over twenty years
Cimollai was in Cofidis not IPT
