Enjoyed that.
20 mins out of the saddle :shock:!!!
I'm sure he claims at one point to do an hour out the saddle.
Warms me to him a bit.0 -
AC's out the saddle efforts are interesting viewing given that he can't hold the cadence for more than 20 seconds ... Much the same as Froome's 120rpm 'efforts'.
Horner's out the saddle efforts during the 2013 Vuelta were different as they weren't fast but they were prolonged, much like you would do during a spin bike session.
Nibali's TdF win reminded me of Basso's first Giro win in terms of cadence/style which is a bit of a worry ... Although tempered by the form/eventual lack of competition.Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it.0 -

Vincenzo is closer to Contador in how he rides and attacks with out of the saddle efforts, but we were more worried by Froome's attacks. I simulated stage finishes based on how Froome would ride to prepare for the battle. Froome won't even change gears at times when he attacks, but simply ups the pace. His first attack will last for about 40 seconds, longer than when Contador goes for 20 or 30 seconds.Twitter: @RichN950 -

Great access for GCN. If Matt Stephens can get that sort @rse-ing about out of Contador - along with some actual content that an actual cyclist might want to ask him - then I'm all for this new formation of the Chuckle Brothers for 2015.0 -

Absolutely. Great entertainment. Would have been better in Spanish though.0 -

The real question is how that leaves you afterwards.
If you can give your 'seated muscles' (so to speak) a fraction of a rest while you smash it out of the saddle, it might just help you to sustain the gap....0 -
What a guy. Can't wait for the battles.
Not the first time GCN has got close to him - Alberto certainly doesn't mind the guy.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Enjoyed that, thanks.0

Tinkoff Saxo is a client of Shift Active, which owns GCN. Hence the access.-- Dirk Hofman Motorhomes --0
