Jumbo-Visma Head of Performance on Training & FTP Tests | Lanterne Rouge Cycling Podcast 

It'd be fantastic to see more of these "What does X role do in a Pro Team, and how did they get there?" It might inspire some young minds, or help older homies redirect their careers.

Excellent interview. That was all very inciteful. Thank you. And thanks to Mr Hueboer for answering questions and for his superb ability handling technical questions in English that are not asked by common journalists. And thanks to Jumbo Visma for allowing him to make himself available. I'm sure this is a busy time.

Great interview. Pretty special to be hearing all of this straight from the horses mouth. No hypotheticals or speculation. Just actual insight into a real working pro team.

Interesting podcast Patrick, thanks! I don't know if you take requests, but something I've always been interested in is logistics of the peloton. It's not really to do with the cycling itself, but I often wonder about some questions. Like in the TdF, the team cars have Dutch plates for Jumbo or Belgian plates at Quickstep, but also for INEOS for example. How does this work? Does the team have a base in some country and they drive the cars to all the races? How many cars does the team have? How many busses does the team have? How does the equipment (bikes and other) get to the race from the home base? How do riders get to the countries they're supposed to race in? Do they book their own plane tickets? Or is everything arranged for them? Some of these are maybe really basic questions, but it might be interesting to do a podcast about if you ever have the time/interest to interview someone about this, as it's a part of the sport that's not often seen by the viewer. PS, the video by Wendover Productions "The insane logistics of Formula 1" is a good example from another sport in which this aspect is addressed and many such questions are answered.

Fantastically insightful. I feel privileged being able to listen to this conversation.

It is to Mr. Heijboer’s credit that he was a sort of “middling” cycling pro in the fully-doped-to-the-gills era in which he rode. I have to assume from his results he realized to reach a higher level he’d have to engage in some seriously unsavory behaviors. I hope the current era suits him and he finds his role rewarding. Very interesting and thorough interview.

Another banger from Patrick. Thanks for getting this chat out to the public

I love these interviews LR, thanks to you and Mathieu for taking the time 😍

Very nice insights! Appreciate all of this.

Fantastic stuff, guys. Informative to say the least

Great interview so far, and I haven’t finished yet, but these ads are doing my head in

Amazing Pod and great insights

Good job LT and thanks to M

Great podcast, awesome to mix it up with different aspects of cycling. Hopefully the growing network the LR team can deliver similar stuff in the future/ winter. Would be good to extend to an Ashes 1st test recap in the quiet week before the Tour

Great informative podcast!

Really enjoyed this one

I remember previous generations of sprinters did big volume, bc it was all about being freshest at the finish. Their natural speed just needed a little sharpening

For the beginners, even before discussing a taining plan : cardio sports (running, cycling, swimming, ...) are a tripod standing on 3 feet : fun, progressivity and discipline. Fun gets you coming back, progressivity allows you to find your limits and to get to know yourself while limiting the risks of injury and discipline gets you results (not only on the saddle but also for bodyweight, sleep quality, moral, ...)

Pros who couldn't follow @220W uphill? Offseason, yeah, but wtf? I suspect Mathieu is just being nice to the audience...

❤❤❤

Patrick, your chair looks very comfortble. If you recommend it, please let us know the brand name?

Jumbo-Visma is the real Wolfpack

Lance used lactate almost exclusively…one of the many early mover tools he used to help his/team performance (not his idea)…if you look beyond the simple “doped” view there are many reasons why he was a beast…the riders and coaches from his generation know

Interesting, thanks for bringing that to the masses In no way casting aspersions, we none of us know what really happened on a daily basis unless we were there of course, but I would find it an interesting line of questioning to hear Mathieu's thoughts on the Rabobank doping scandal and the team politics during that period (when I think he said he was on that team).

So who made the roglic helmet decision? Tdf tt.

Dernies were used a while ago in ultra distance competitions (think Anquetil) and the drivers sat very upright to affect the most wind blocking protection to the rider behind. Today teams employ this drafting strategy to protect their leader. I don’t think it’s necessary to have the guy up front doing the blocking have a slammed bar stem. There are three positives to sitting more upright. (80’s style) 1.) your view of the road ahead is enhanced. therefore Less crashing incidents. 2.) Strain to lower back as well as neck is reduced. 3.) Enhanced wind blocking for the leader behind. Remember, the rider protecting the leader isn’t there to win the on the day.

He carries a big stick from the side of the car 😅

Bonking after a hour and a half ride is an indication of poor aerobic capacity, aka, a lack of burning fats for fuel, a sign of our carb crazed society....

You should interview @timpodlogar his is a nutritionist on Bora team... He loves to share his knowledge
