But it's not completely true. Do you remember the first time you had to stop in the middle of a little hill, gasping for air an unable to ride further? That hill does become easier, as you get fit you gain the ability to ride up the hill and not get destroyed by it.

Reminds me of the trainings we did in athletics but this one has science behind it, we did on the “feel” of the coach. 15x400m on time(required to do under 60s) with 200m recovery jogs between sessions(one day we were told to do 100m recovery jogs, cause the coach felt like it) - cramps or vomiting pretty much guaranteed. After 3 sessions you were already basically dead

Great effort, sounds very tough. The pros really go all in to optimise performance. The glory must be great but working so hard must be very draining. I think somebody said they average 25mph for 100 miles, it’s crazy. I’d be interested to compare Ollie’s current ftp with what some of GCN’s pros had at their peak. For amateur riders I think it’s important to strike the balance between getting fitter and just enjoying rides. We all want to be fit but it’s boring and stressful if every ride is measured

As a fellow anglophone, I loved Ollie's pronunciation of "petit". I recall making this mistake many times when learning to live in a French-speaking country. For your next trip to France Ollie, the "e" should sound more like the second "e" in "effervescent", not the first one. Might not be the best example English word with both sounds in it, because I am not a linguist.

Cool vid, but it would be much more interesting if you took a very good amateur and had them train and tapper like they were going to race, then put them in that session with the actual Visma riders and saw whether they could keep up. Would be very interesting to see "can you, at your very best, hang with these guys for one training day?" Just doing the workout at your own zones isn't the same.

Perhaps I got news for you, Ollie: when you're in your zone 2 power (external load) zone but your perceived exertion (internal load) is "much higher", you're no longer in zone 2 from an internal load perspective. Usually when people do low-intensity training (e.g. zone 2) they seek the adaptations that come from training at this intensity. If your internal load (measured by RPE, heart rate, lactate, or any other) is in zone 3 or 4, it doesn't matter that your power meter tells you you're in zone 2, the adaptations will be different.

The team names are formed from title sponsor names and nothing more. The highest paying sponsors get to be the name of the team. Lease a Bike is a company just like Visma is and they happen to pay enough to have their company name as the team name.
