Someone over at it.sport.ciclismo had the answer: he wants to find out if he can do better in sprints by running in stead of riding. -- Firefox Web Browser - Rediscover the web - http://getffox.com/ Thunderbird E-mail and Newsgroups - http://gettbird.com/ |

Yeah, Tyler too, but he can't handle a bike worth the ****.

Doing one hour sprint intervals will help your sprint. Offcourse not. Repeated sprint intervals during an hour could allow you to sprint better in a road race or criterium because you'll train yourself to be more recovered, or more rested when it comes time to begin the sprint. Doing sprints or very short intervals while your legs are already loaded with lactate (I guess this is part of cross racing) will simulate the conditions you'll face when the sprint begins in most other races. Way too many people think sprint training is only done with full recovery between 200-300m sprints. -WG |

If you want to list all the road sprinters; Max van Heeswijk and Aart Vierhouten, too. In Amsterdam anyway. Vierhouten appeared in the clip I posted, talked about how his speed went well this season. He did a few sixes (or at least one) and other track work last winter and feels it helped him, so he's doing it again. Like Lombardi, he can be (and is) a main lead-out man and maybe a sprinter in his own right. There were a couple of races this year when McEwen had quit and Vierhouten could go for his own chances. He placed well a few times. Who knows, maybe he will finally "discover" himself, like van Heeswijk in the past years. I spotted Magnus Backstedt in the results for a couple events of a SixDayNight, too, I don't know if that's a regular part of his routine. Wouldn't surprise me. Vierhouten did, indeed, finish 3rd into Rome after McEwen had called it quits. The land of second-string sprinters is an interesting one... -Jeffrey. |

Tire overlaps, pushing shoving, leaning, etc... and how to react to each to stay upright. There are classes for that? Do other clubs do that? Yes.
