What happens in a typical day in the life of a Professional Cyclist? How much do they train? What do they do when they train? What do they eat? When do they eat it? Seeing the pros racing throughout the season certainly looks tough but what goes on behind the scenes to get them to that point? Mavic invited Ollie out to Spain to join Team AG2R La Mondiale and spend a day looking into the life of a Pro Cyclist.

Pro training is brutal. They often go harder than they would do in actual racing, when strategy and tactics in the actual race matters. Especially those riding for the GC don't often go all out at all in the fear of blowing up the next day.

@Mububban23 4 года назад

Realistically, a rider like Oli would tear the legs off most of us casual GCN viewers. To watch him getting flogged by the pros really makes it clear just how wide the gulf is between a talented dedicated fit amateur, and a true pro athlete. 160km/4000m and they looked so casual at the rest stop, whereas most of us would be gasping and calling for an ambulance!!! Pro cycling is a brutal sport.

@topmech71 4 года назад

There's different levels to this stuff..the average person who may not cycle has no idea how strong a pro cyclist is. Maybe not win any wrestling matches but put them on a bike and its another level.

@smallnuts2 4 года назад

@@mikicastan I dont think it's just watts. I mean think how much you have to accelerate to close a gap? That's why the majority people get dropped on there first race regardless of there fitness level. They dont train realistically what a race would be like.

@anklepick9524 3 года назад

@@topmech71 I'm a wrestler and I have the most respect for cyclists. Not only are they strong and durable but the are mentally strong, just like a wrestler.

@anasfrh 3 года назад

This probably extends to any sport. I think it's easy to watch and comment on the performance of a or b pro but I guess the reference point is implicitly relative to the pro distribution. It certainly is a bit arrogant to think an amateur even with a lot of training can match even the lower percentiles in pro performance.

@someonestupid8744 4 года назад

Well he did beat his training-partner Greg Van Avermaet this year in the sprint on the Muur van Geraardsbergen, final stage BinkBank. Also 2x Bretagne classic But yes just like Sep Vanmarcke he deserves many more wins, given the amount of top 10 placings in classic races.
