Or a pursuit.
My excuse was I was trying to synchronize my pedalling with my opponent.

Synchronicity is difficult in the pursuit, unless one of you sucks to
the point that you are both on the same side of the drome. Successful
competitive synchronicity in the pursuit is an art form. The pursuit
of competitive sybchronicity in the pursuit is probably a path to
extreme disappointment. Just saying...

A friend of mine tweeted this a few months ago:
" just won the 9-mile paddleboard Dolphin Race! Let's not ask silly
questions such as "Were there any other women in your division?" or "How
many times did you go through the post-race buffet line?" Let's just focus
on what really counts: sweet, sweet victory."

I've never take consolation in that, but I know some who do. A guy I
know was ecstatic over winning a mountainbike race last year, posting
on his team's forum about how he'd 'podium'd', etc... turns out there
were only two people in his category and the other guy was dq'd for
cutting the course.

Cyclocross. My buddy Jack and I were the only Vets entered; I got a

money came flying out.
Medals were cool, but best was getting schooled by a real Euro pro

Forget all that and just discuss the racing. Let the idiots talk about
anything they like and let the real cycling fans talk about cycling.
This is winter and cycle racing is in the doldrums. But real racing will
appear soon enough and surprise us with who has gotten top notch over the
years and who is running down hill.

Qatar is the biggest race his team will do this year. It's their Tour de
France. For many others it's the smallest race they will do this year.
They just don't care so much.
Scott
I'm not sure how you are defining 'biggest', but I'm pretty sure that
there will be races coming up that Trek-Livestrong will care about
more, and they were just there for the experience. No one would've
thought anything of it if he'd been content to just be pack filler
for the race, so long as the team got the experience of racing in the
big leagues.
I'd agree that most of the teams don't care so much, but for the
sprinters who are there, they care about the ability to establish
themselves as the one to beat. Maybe their teams don't care so much
about the results, but they care about not wasting an opportunity to
take away all they can from the event.
I guess the biggest thing about Phinney getting a couple of top 10s is
that no one would've expected it, so when it happened it was pretty
shocking. Frankly, the bigger thing, for me anyway, is that
apparently he decided that he wanted to see what sprinting was all
about and to learn how to fight for position at the front over the
last crucial kilometers, and so he took it upon himself to just do
it. I think this speaks very highly for his prospects (future or
otherwise).

Jesus Fucking Key-rist.
Check results from prior years. Take a deep breath first.
In the top tens you'll see lots of guys that you never
heard of that have no careers as sprinters. Lots of them.
Guys with careers that are going nowhere.
It's fucking Qatar. It doesn't mean anything, good or bad.
It's a training ride. It's like getting excited over some
guy winning a city sign sprint at Tuesday Night Worlds.
Consider, 7th place in a stage at Qatar has the same UCI
point value as a city sign sprint at Tuesday Night Worlds.

Dumbass -
Anyone who can do a 60 second kilo is more than capable of being a road
sprinter. Those are some watts.
As an aside, 7th place @ Qatar is nothing to get excited about for someone
with that sort of wattage.

Take a pill, dude, before you hurt yourself. No one, especially not

As for the sprints themselves, sure, there are some 'non-sprinters'
there, but there are also some pretty good sprinters there, too. More
importantly, the presence of the non-sprinters makes the run in even
more hectic and therefore more impressive that a 19 year old who
started racing 4 years ago can and will get in there with them.
Scott
> "Scott" <hendricks_sc...@hotmail.com> wrote in message
Phinney doesn't ride the kilo like most kilo specialists. He doesn't
have the "massive power at the beginning sprint from the blocks and
hope to hold on till the end" approach. He actually has a very slow
start (relative to kilo specialists, that is) but he doesn't slow
down, which is more indicative of his ability to sustain pretty high
watts instead of an ability to generate crazy high watts. Phinney is
far from being a road sprinter. He's a pursuiter with a little extra
power, not a sprinter with a little extra endurance.
But, you knew that already.
Kurgan Gringioni
Dumbass -
Has it occurred to you that road sprinters in general would not be able to
ride the kilo like kilo specialists?
Road sprinters don't train their jump to start from 0 mph, 0 rpm.
Physiologically that is a much different task for the body than jumping when
the system is already going 65+ (depending on the leadout) kph, 80+
(depending on the style) rpm.
Scott

> "Scott" <hendricks_sc...@hotmail.com> wrote in message
Good point(s). I hadn't thought of it like that, but didn't agree
with your implied assumption that he's generating big watts, 1 minute
kilo type watts. He goes about it differently than anyone else
capable of doing that sort of time, but the way he goes about it would
lead one to conclude he'd be a good road sprinter, I suppose. As I
recall, he's also done some pretty good rides in points races, too.
You may be on to something.

right. and his genetics really help him a lot when mixing it with some
of the game's top sprinters in the final Ks of a pro race like
this ... he may have inherited a great motor, but that doesn't mean
shit without the ability to ride in the pack and handle the argy bargy
(just ask Danielson) ... and this kid's doing it at 19.
