    Interesting also that Francis Mourey, the French CX champion, is sponsored by FDJ even now. Madiot clearly a big advocate.

    Maybe Brailsford needs to get Wiggins on the Cablocypede? Virenque used to be pretty terrible until his DS had him warming up on one before a mountain stage...

    I love that video :lol:

    I also love the 'THAT is a track cyclist' not another person, just some strange mascot we've managed to pick up.

    I thought there was a touch of the Attenborough's to it. Like it was some rare and exotic species.

    They couldn't have timed it better for comedy purposes, or to illustrate his point, could they?

    He takes them on a cyclocross camp every winter, AFAIK. He thinks it helps riders learn handling skills, and also "how to crash properly" something he picked up form Guimard.
