  • We've all dreamt it - just how strong and fast could we ride if we lived and trained like the world's best? And if the dream dies and we can't make it, just what is it that WorldTour teams look for in younger riders?

The article from MSN discusses the factors that contribute to the exceptional performance of professional cyclists like Tadej Pogačar and Kasia Niewiadoma, focusing on training, genetics, and ageism in cycling. It highlights how modern training methods, including the use of technology for performance analysis, have evolved, allowing athletes to push their limits further than ever before. Genetics play a crucial role, with natural talent providing a significant advantage in terms of muscle fiber composition, aerobic capacity, and recovery rates. The piece also touches on ageism, noting that while cycling has traditionally been seen as a young person's sport, older athletes are now competing at high levels due to better training, nutrition, and recovery techniques. This shift challenges the notion that peak performance must occur in one's early twenties, suggesting that with the right approach, cyclists can extend their competitive careers well into their thirties and beyond.
