While riding the Tour's 16th stage from Bourg d’Oisans to La Toussuire he lost the yellow jersey and eight minutes. He then went back to his hotel and downed two draft beers and “at least four shots” of Jack Daniel’s whiskey. The ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone in his urine sample taken the next day when Landis made a miraculous recovery was said to be 11:1, above the acceptable threshold of 4:1.

RULE number 35 says it all. “No visors on the road – road helmets can be worn on mountain bikes, but never the other way around. If you want shade, see Rule #22.” That comes from the sacred text of Velominati: Keepers of the Cog, and is vital when considering your helmet purchase. Visors are the key thing to differentiate mountain bikers from road riders… unless of course you’re a hardcore downhill off-roader then you’re best served by a full-face lid. When it comes to helmets, there are about five major brands which produce models which meet the Australian Standard for just about every facet of cycling. Prices vary from $70 through to $300.

OVER the years of dealing with athletes through SCTA, national talent ID and ITU development camps a major thing that I have seen is a lack of technique.
