Mark Renshaw is a retired Australian cyclist who grew up in Bathurst, a regional city in Western NSW. He rode professionally between 2004 and 2019 for teams including Française des Jeux, Crédit Agricole, HTC–Highroad, Belkin Pro Cycling, Etixx–Quick-Step and Team Dimension Data.  His most notable wins are the general classification of the 2011 Tour of Qatar, also the one-day race Clásica de Almería in 2013 but perhaps he is most famous for his 1-2 finish on the final stage of the 2009 Tour de France with his teammate Mark Cavendish. From 2009 to 2011 and from 2014 until his retirement, Renshaw was known as the main lead-out man for fellow sprinter Mark Cavendish at HTC–Highroad, Etixx–Quick-Step and Team Dimension Data. He is regarded as one of the best lead out men ever in professional cycling, The role of a lead out rider is to position and deliver the sprinter in the best possible place to win the race, this requires both riders having a lot of faith in each other in the final hectic moments of a bunch sprint.  After  many years trying to become a sprinter Mark moved across to become a leading out rider in 2007 with Thor Hushovd at Credit Agricole.  Mark started the Tour de France 10 times during his career, 5 times the Giro D’Italia and 2 times the La Vuelta Espana.  His final race was the 2019 edition of the Tour of Britain finishing in Manchester.  

This week we're back with the first podcast of 2020! Last year was quite ad hoc in terms of regularity but from now on you can expect a new episode every week, with some great guests lined up. To kick things off we go back to our birthday event in December and the Digital Disruption panel, hosting by our CEO Claire Ritchie-Tomkins. A panel on which we were able to bring together some big technology brands who have been involved in sport for many years to provide some fascinating insights. They were Sam Seddon - Wimbledon and RFU Client & Programme Executive, IBM Bijaya Basu - Head of Sponsorships, Tata Communications Grant Dall - Global Alliance Manager for NTT, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise But before we got into the panel, Dan McLaren and Chris Hughes took some time to go through a few of the headlines that have attracted interest in the sports tech industry so far this year. Each week our aim is to offer some insight and discussion around these key topics, helping to provide you with an understanding and curate what you need to know. Whether it be Instagram hiding likes, Liverpool FC successfully launching memberships on YouTube or a new sports tech hub opening in London. It's all here. This week is part 1 of the panel with our guests talking about their involvement and experiences within sport. How the technologies they produce help solve problems, with the aim for teams and events to be more successful and fans to get the ultimate experiences. IBM started working with Wimbledon in 1990 and launched the first Wimbledon.org in 1995. Since then the partnership has become one that is closely intertwined, with new technologies tested to create better and deeper fan experiences every year. ALE worked with pro cycling outfit Team Dimension Data (now NTT Pro Cycling) to initially help them track everything that moved, whether it be water bottles or bike parts. Enabling the team to know where everything was at any time and making logistical decisions easier. And Tata Communications have been involved in sport for almost a decade through Formula One*, The European Tour and MotoGP. Bijaya explains how they work on getting live feeds from races all round the world to remote production teams with minimal delays. Saving time and money for the rights holders, and delivering other products on top of this technology to create the ultimate fan experiences.

Hver dag frem mod den 24. december, udkommer der et nyt interview og etape af Forhjulslirs julekalender. Anders Mielke har taget en snak med 24 af Danmarks bedste cykelryttere, og hørt dem lidt om 2019 sæsonen, drømmene i 2020, december måned og juledagene som professionel cykelrytter. Det er blevet søndag den 3. advent, og derfor skal vi høre fra en stor dansk kanon. Michael Valgren fra Team Dimension Data er dagens mand i Forhjulslirs julekalender. Valgren fortæller blandt andet om livet i Monaco, hvor ham og konen trives i sydens sol. Det kan godt være at træningsmakkerne i dag hedder Richie Porte og Caleb Ewan, men Valgren glemmer ikke de hårde hunde, Jesper Odgaard og Karsten Mikkelsen hjemme i Thy. Valgren nævner ikke noget om en hvis Ørn fra Herning, men derimod en stork. Der bliver nemlig intet Tour Down Under for Michael Valgrens vedkommende, da han snart skal være far. Medvirkende: Michael Valgren og Anders Mielke

Mental health is a subject everyone deals with, yet so few of us discuss it. Matt and Kev chat with Dr. David Spindler and Peter Kennaugh for an honest discussion that digs into common misconceptions, and the role psychology can play for everyone, including World Tour teams. David Spindler is a Sports Psychologist, who works with Team Dimension Data. Olympic gold medalist Peter Kennaugh draws from personal experience after recently stepping away indefinitely from cycling to focus on his own mental health.

Here on Fast Talk, we’ve been known to periodically quote a study or two. While in the past, athletes mostly figured out their training by trial and error or what felt right, nowadays, in this era of marginal gains, no coach or serious athlete can get away without some understanding of physiology. Winning at the highest level requires digging through the science to find those little nuggets that translate to real gains. The problem is, while many of us read the science, a lot of us don’t know how to interpret it, or when it’s good research that draws useful conclusions or bad research that will lead you astray. That’s made particularly complicated by the fact that there are many well-conducted studies that, because of the nature of their methods, outcome goals, or the size of their study group, may lead you to draw conclusions you shouldn’t. So today we're going to dive into the physiology research itself and give you some tips on how to both read and interpret the science. We’ll discuss:   • First, the basic structure of a research study. • Next, some basic concepts you need to understand in order to read research. • We’ll then dive deeper into the methods—the section people love to skip over—and why they are so important. • Next, we’ll talk about some preferences among researchers, such as their tendency to test in the lab and not on the road, and why they love VO2max tests, despite the fact that they don’t actually correlate well with performance. • We’ll discuss a study’s endpoints—what they are measuring and why that is so important. • Next, we’ll learn about the concept of the false null hypothesis and things that can influence it, such as study length and the number of participants. • Finally, we’ll talk about how the data revolution in cycling is allowing for some truly unique studies.   Our primary guests today are Dr. Jim Peterman, a professor of exercise physiology at Ball State University who got his Ph.D. while balancing a professional cycling career, and Nate Wilson, a former elite U23 racer and head coach at Catalyst Coaching.   Along with our primary guests, we talked with cyclocross legend and longtime coach Katie Compton, and also Dr. Ciaran O’Grady, a physiologist with Team Dimension Data. As high-level coaches, both need to keep up on the research. They each shared thoughts on what they look for to know they can trust a study.   Finally, we touched base with Grant Holicky, a top coach at Forever Endurance, and one of his athletes, Maxx Chance, who had a unique take on the research.   Now, are you ready to be blinded by science? Let's make you fast!

In episode 64, we ask the question: What does it take to stand on the podium at the world championships? It’s a simple question without a simple answer. Strength buys you a seat at the table, but playing a winning hand takes effective training, teamwork, near-perfect strategy, and an incredible mindset. In today's episode we take a deep dive into all of the elements that are needed for a podium placing at worlds with two of the members of the Canadian team — Mike Woods and Rob Britton. The two of them, along with their team of coaches, asked that simple question over a year before the 2018 world championships. Canada doesn't have the biggest reputation, nor the best-funded team, but they found the answers and earned Mike the bronze medal. So, how did they do it? Today we'll cover: - How the race played out to put Mike in a position to fight for the podium - Rob Britton's all-day breakaway that helped put Mike in that position - The final “hell climb” as Rob calls it, how it was central to Mike’s strategy, the sort of numbers he put out on the climb, and why those numbers don’t tell the full story - The finale, and why in a split second the excitement of a podium momentarily turned into a disappointment - A comparison of Mike’s and Rob’s very different preparations for worlds. Mike used the Tour of Utah and the Vuelta to get his legs ready. Rob, on the other hand, loaded his bike up with fifty pounds of gear and did a very low-tech ride across half of Canada. Yet, both riders arrived with great legs… and, perhaps more importantly, great mindsets. - How Rob and Mike balanced their training — including the balance of long slow volume rides, threshold work, and VO2max training, and how training for a seven hour event like worlds may differ from the local two-hour race - Our primary guests for this podcast were the Canadian superstars themselves: Mike Woods of the EF Education First team and Rob Britton of Rally Cycling. Mike, who comes from a running background, exploded onto the scene five years ago and since then has raced multiple grand tours, which has included a recent stage win at the Vuelta. Rob has dominated the domestic scene with multiple wins, including the GC victory at races like Tour of the Gila. In addition to Rob and Mike, we'll talk with Mike’s coach Paulo Saldahna. Despite his remarkable coaching success, Paulo points out that coaching is only one of the many hats he wears. He’s the owner of the successful indoor training company PowerWatts and is an endurance sport physiologist by trade where he builds support structures for athletes worldwide and runs a high performance facility in Montreal. Finally, we'll talk briefly with Dr. Ciaran O'Grady, a coach and sports scientist at Team Dimension Data. As a WorldTour coach, we'll ask him what's different about training for a seven hour race.

In today’s episode, we start by asking our expert guests that simple question: Do we need a coach? Next, we’ll talk about the relationship athletes have with their coaches — what makes a good relationship and what makes a bad one. After we’ve defined that relationship, we’ll ask our panel what to look for in a good coach. And, conversely, how to identify a bad coach. Finally, we’ll talk briefly about how much coaching is worth, and whether an athlete should stick with the same coach or change from time to time. Our panel today includes coach Neal Henderson, owner of Apex Coaching and current coach of time trial world champion Rohan Dennis, among other elite athletes. Neal has joined us before, on one of our most popular episodes, in fact, Episode 33: Is FTP Dead? Our other main guest today is the renowned endurance athlete Rebecca Rusch, formerly an adventure racer, now a decorated cyclist of mountain bike, gravel, and bike-packing events around the world. Rebecca currently works with CTS coach Dean Golich; for many years she went without a coach. She has a great depth of experience as an athlete and brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation. In addition to our panel, we have several experts weigh in throughout this episode: Ciaran O’Grady, a coach and sports scientist with Team Dimension Data, talks with us about the pros and cons of self-coaching versus the accountability that comes from working with a coach. LottoNL-Jumbo’s Sepp Kuss, winner of this year’s Tour of Utah, reached the WorldTour by being self-coached. We talk about why he did that, and what it’s like now working with the team’s trainers. We check in with Dean Golich, head performance physiologist at CTS. Dean has worked with an incredible number of top athletes and shares some of his thoughts on how he approaches coaching them. The legendary Ned Overend continues to crush Cat. 1 riders into his 60s. Despite all of his success, Ned has never had a coach. He explains why. Finally we talk with Armando Mastracci, who has developed a highly sophisticated training AI system that can help athletes plan their workouts. Armando discusses what parts of coaching a good AI system can replace and what it can’t.

In episode 60 we’re discussing trainers… hey, for those out there who hate them, we get it, but stay tuned, as we’ll tell you why you shouldn’t completely ignore them. For those who love them, we’re going to tell you why riding outside every once in a while is a really good thing. For those in between, today’s episode will offer a wealth of knowledge on how to get the very most out of trainer time. Now, one thing is certain: The days of staring at the basement wall while riding your clunky, loud trainer are behind us. Today’s smart trainers and online tools allow us to “game-ify” the experience and are making many re-consider how they feel about riding indoors, and importantly, the extent of the training benefits. In this episode, we’ll talk about the science and experience of the trainer, including: How riding on a trainer differs from riding on the road, including the experience, our interaction with the bike, the different inertia generated by the trainer, and its impact on our biomechanics. What impact these differences have on our power and heart rate, and why we shouldn’t use the same numbers inside and outside. We’ll discuss situations where it’s good to use a trainer—and when it may be even better than riding on the road, such as when we’re doing neuromuscular work. Likewise, we’ll talk about situations where you might want to avoid the trainer. You might know already… a five-hour, mind-numbing ride on the trainer is a sign of incredible dedication. Don’t do it again. The game-ification of trainers by tools like Zwift, Trainer Road, and Sufferfest, and how this is changing our perspective on trainers. It can be both good and bad. When to use rollers rather than a trainer. And, finally, we’ll talk about how much time to spend on the trainer, and alternatives even when there’s snow outside. You’re going to get a lot of different opinions in this podcast. None of us will go so far as to call the trainer Satan — though at times we’ll come close — but you will hear a few guests give convincing evidence that the trainer has benefits you can’t get on the road. Ultimately, it’s going to be up to you to decide. Our primary guest today is Ciaran O’Grady who is a new coach and sports scientist at Team Dimension Data. Ciaran is finishing up his Ph.D. at Kent University with Dr. James Hopker, who conducted some of the definitive research on the biomechanical differences between riding on a trainer and the road. In addition, we’ll talk with: Retired multi-time national cyclocross champion Tim Johnson. Having lived in the northeast for most of his life, Tim is very familiar with riding indoors and has a lot of good points to offer from two decades of experience. Trevor also caught up with Jacob Fraser from Zwift and Kevin Poulton who coaches Matt Hayman and Caleb Ewan, and works with Team Katusha. Kevin used Zwift to coach Matt to his 2016 Paris-Roubaix win and since then has integrated significant trainer time into his athletes’ race preparation. And with that, get your fan ready, dial in your Zwift avatar — make sure you enter your weight correctly in Zwift now, no cheating. Let’s make you fast!

In this episode, we'll talk about the science and experience of the trainer, including: (1) How riding on a trainer differs from riding on the road, including the experience, our interaction with the bike, the different inertia generated by the trainer, and its impact on our biomechanics. (2) What impact these differences have on our power and heart rate, and why we shouldn't use the same numbers inside and outside. (3) We’ll discuss situations where it’s good to use a trainer—and when it may be even better than riding on the road, such as when we’re doing neuromuscular work. (4) Likewise, we’ll talk about situations where you might want to avoid the trainer. You might know already… a five-hour, mind-numbing ride on the trainer is a sign of incredible dedication. Don't do it again. (5) The game-ification of trainers by tools like Zwift, Trainer Road, and Sufferfest, and how this is changing our perspective on trainers. It can be both good and bad. When to use rollers rather than a trainer. (6) And, finally, we'll talk about how much time to spend on the trainer, and alternatives even when there's snow outside. You're going to get a lot of different opinions in this podcast. None of us will go so far as to call the trainer Satan — though at times we'll come close — but you will hear a few guests give convincing evidence that the trainer has benefits you can't get on the road. Ultimately, it's going to be up to you to decide. Our primary guest today is Ciaran O'Grady who is a new coach and sports scientist at Team Dimension Data. Ciaran just finished his Ph.D. at Kent University with Dr. James Hopker, who conducted some of the definitive research on the biomechanical differences between riding on a trainer and the road. In addition, we'll talk with: Retired multi-time national cyclocross champion Tim Johnson. Having lived in the northeast for most of his life, Tim is very familiar with riding indoors and has a lot of good points to offer from two decades of experience. Trevor also caught up with Jacob Fraser from Zwift and Kevin Poulton who coaches Matt Hayman and Caleb Ewan, and works with Team Katusha. Kevin used Zwift to coach Matt to his 2016 Paris-Roubaix win and since then has integrated significant trainer time into his athletes' race preparation.

In episode 60 we're discussing trainers. For those who hate them, we get it, but stay tuned, as we’ll tell you why you shouldn’t completely ignore them. For those who love them, we’re going to tell you why riding outside every once in a while is a really good thing. For those in between, today’s episode will offer a wealth of knowledge on how to get the very most out of trainer time.

On today's podcast, we present a rather quintessential American Success Story that goes by the name of ENVE Composites. If you ride bikes and have a thing for high-quality gear, you already know ENVE. But you almost certainly don’t know the whole story. You’d never guess from the look of things now, but ENVE’s trajectory wasn't exactly a rocket ship, but more of a roller coaster ride with lots of peaks and a number of nerve-wracking valleys.Last week I headed to Ogden, Utah, to visit ENVE’s headquarters and tour their factory, and I then sat down for a conversation with three people who have each have played (and continue to play) an important role in ENVE’s past, present, and future: ENVE’s CEO, Sarah Lehman; ENVE’s chief engineer Kevin Nelson; and ENVE’s product manager, Jake Pantone.TOPICS & TIMES:Our guests introduce themselves, and we discuss the origins and the early days of ENVE (3:25)Sarah on the “Cinderella story” of ENVE, including the dark days, name changes, and the decision to keep manufacturing in the US (6:20)Why carbon, and what does it mean to “Do carbon right”? (29:45)Manufacturing in the US vs overseas: What are some of the misconceptions, challenges, and benefits? (36:10)Can an intermediate rider notice the performance benefits of expensive carbon wheelsets? (46:40)ENVE’s future: what is ENVE’s plan to grow, how is “price” related to that growth, and how does ENVE intend to differentiate itself as more companies get into this space? (50:00)Working with the Santa Cruz Syndicate — which Syndicate rider breaks the most stuff? Which rider provides the most product feedback? (1:00:00)Team Dimension Data vs The Syndicate — Which team is providing the most feedback? (1:03:30)Sarah’s best day at ENVE (1:07:57)What’s next?

Plots was daar een Pyrenee, en een Brit die ’m beklom. Steven Cummings won de etappe voor Team Dimension Data, die al drie keer eerder champagne hadden gehad. Greg van Avermaet mag ook een slokje, want die koos - in de geest van Cruijff - voor de aanval als beste verdediging van z’n gele trui. En wat gebeurde er eigenlijk voor spannends met Adam Yates, daar bij de ingestorte kilometerboog? Dank aan Hetiskoers.nl en Johnny Wonder voor de redactionele en productionele ondersteuning.

We catch up with Team Principle of Team Dimension Data after they won the 3rd stage of the Tour de France, we also hear from Banyana Banyana Coach Vera Pouw ahead of their trip to North America as they build up for Rio 2016.
