A1 Coaching

You dropped $15,000 on your dream bike—so why are you still getting dropped on the group ride? In this week’s Rider Support, we unpack why fitness always beats gear, how to build your engine, and how to turn frustration into progress. Plus: should we trust dominant performances like Pogačar’s? Anthony gets honest about anti-doping and fan skepticism. We also dive into off-the-bike warmups—do they really help? What gearing Sarah’s running for Badlands, how to survive chaotic group rides without torching your legs, the real risks of hookless rims, and why surging out of corners might be ruining your ride.To calculate your zones or tyre pressure you can use our free calculator here ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.roadmancycling.com/members⁠⁠⁠⁠Our S&C Plan - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.roadmancycling.com/strengthandconditioning⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The podcast wouldn't be possible without our amazing sponsors:If you would like to join Anthony & Sarah and race the L'Etape by Tour de France event in Las Vegas go to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
