In consultation with the physical therapists of the team, they are prescribed specific exercises. Practising alternative sports is rather limited and depends on the history of the cyclists. Some of them go for a run, but those are the cyclists who used to run or play football. Letting a cyclist run while he normally never runs is not a good idea because they are likely to get injured. About half of the cyclists have been doing strength workouts in the gym. Together with the team\u2019s physical therapists, we at Energy Lab also establish a programme for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the first two weeks, the hours spent on bicycles slowly increase and the training sessions are thus getting longer and longer. By the end of November, strength training on rollers starts. Each cyclist has his own training schedule based on his race schedule.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_171520\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-171520\" style=\"width: 1250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/11\/profimedia-0387364222.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-171520\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2018\/11\/profimedia-0387364222.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1250\" height=\"815\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-171520\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9\u00a0Profimedia, Alamy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIn general, it is important to rein in neo-pros and young riders because they want to start training very early to get in shape in time, which is a typical trap. Every day, the cyclists upload their training data on our online training platform. We can check if the prescribed training has actually been carried out because we get notified when an actual training deviates from a prescribed one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the end of November, the cyclists undergo a blood test and a body composition analysis, and have a consultation with the doctor, a conversation with the sports psychologist and a chat with the trainer. And then they are ready for the December training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to your winter training?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Must.Have.This.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BqjsjKAHPtD\/<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Are the glasses traditional as well?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Do you think we will be fast if <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marcelkittel?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@marcelkittel<\/a> and I sprint in our traditional Chinese dresses? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ride100percent?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ride100percent<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ShanghaiCriterium?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ShanghaiCriterium<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeTour?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LeTour<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uok8qkNGF0\">pic.twitter.com\/uok8qkNGF0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Peter Sagan (@petosagan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/petosagan\/status\/1063373495873269763?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<h2><strong>The pause<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Why the pause <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GeraintThomas86?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GeraintThomas86<\/a> ?? \ud83d\ude06 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zS5ZnQj1Ra\">https:\/\/t.co\/zS5ZnQj1Ra<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Chris Froome (@chrisfroome) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chrisfroome\/status\/1064838850441330688?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 20, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<h2><strong>That\u2019s terrifying<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Happy Thanksgiving!! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oa8PeIzHpT\">https:\/\/t.co\/oa8PeIzHpT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rsjku4p7LO\">pic.twitter.com\/rsjku4p7LO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mark Cavendish (@MarkCavendish) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarkCavendish\/status\/1065567023365799936?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 22, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Monday is here and our news from the world of cycling with it!
