Pretty depressing, uninformed, uneducated take on sport washing here. By all means platform differing viewpoints but at least let them be thoughtful and based in fact. Unsubscribed.

Q: What drives people to do endurance type sports or just to do endurance cycling?

It's small and that's one of the things I like about it; it's about saying, "this is something I think I can do. I'd like to see if I can do it."

143. Why are the pros so fast, and how can we go faster? with Dr Xavier Disley

Q: If we sort of took that and put it into the model of a Peloton or riders drafting riders, describe how this affects the lead rider.

The lead rider experiences a reduced workload when another rider is drafting behind them, allowing them to go faster.

143. Why are the pros so fast, and how can we go faster? with Dr Xavier Disley
