Raphael Tiziani Totally diferent level. But when you look he’s profile on strava it is clear why-he has 25 hours week. Around 3000 km monthly...so,if i could ride 25 hours a week,i would be also very good.(4,2/kg now,10 hours cca.per week)

Alex it would be great to see a video on what it is like for a new cycling team to form. What are the different roles on a team...both formal and informal roles? How does age and experience play into a team coming together? What are differences you have seen in team ownerships among the teams you have been on? How did you find out that you were going to be on Israel SUN?

Really interesting to hear you say that you'd never tried an hour at/above sweet spot before as it would knock your training back. What FTP test protocol do you use? I'd love hear some information about the type of training you do. Do you do much sweet spot training? How long are intervals and how often do you do them? How often do you do zone 4 intervals and how long are they? Would you say your training is polarised? Etc. Cheers!

When Rominger did the hour record, he did a bunch of runs over a few days, one just to get his name on the books, then a full on effort all or nothing with the risk of blowing up like Bobridge did, which ended up being successful @ 55kph. Why didn't Movistar, or anyone else, plan it like this when the bar wasn't as high(i.e. pre Wiggins and Campaenarts)?

Dissapointed the ramble wasn't an hour long for a different sort of record, but it was a good ramble regardless. Have you or other pro's received much pr / interview training? There seems to be a fine balance to being able to provide a genuine interview and giving answers that leave the interviewee wide open and vulnerable to emblishment or 'fake news'

How to become a former world record holder? 1. Set a world record. 2. Now wait, eventually all records will be broken. Now if you don't have the time to wait or want to be alive while being a former record holder (Florence Griffith Joyner) then: A. Don't crush the record (Beamon) break it gently with small steps. (Does not always work, see Bubka) B. Don't set it using equipment soon to be banned. (Boardman) C. Use banned substances without getting caught (no names, they would only be speculation) And D. Ideally set it in a sport where technology is still quickly improving (skating).
