DON'T WAIT FOR YOUR TURN TO COME

DON'T WAIT FOR YOUR TURN TO COME

YESTERDAY WE ALL WITNESSED A MASTERPIECE OF TURNING.  It was brilliant.  Carving perfect lines, tires gasping for grip...

... captured on video.

Matej Mohoric's triumphant plummet off the Poggio was brilliant.

Did you notice how early he set up each turn?

You couldn't see it on the video.

You could see a lot...

... including the crazy two wheel drift he miraculously corrected, twice.

But, not the set up.

Not until the post victory interview.

I heard it, but it didn't register at first.  He simply  said, We worked really hard on the set up.

I tried to figure out what he was trying to explain...

... then it all came to light.

Already known as a death defying descender, he and his team mounted a dropper post on his road bike...

... which lowered his center of gravity and made him even more aerodynamic.

They set the bike up months before and then dialed in how the changes would improve his outstanding ability to get down the mountain...

... faster than anybody else.

This incremental increase gave him just enough additional speed to open up a gap of 8ish seconds...

... all he needed.

Racing the final kilometers the road was smooth and safe, a place where normally a fast descender would be caught.  

Not this time.

It was over.

Months ago Matej decided it was his turn to win Milan-San Remo.

As I quoted yesterday...

It is the will to prepare to win,
that is important.

Set your turns up early:

  • Inspect the course if you can
  • Choose you tires, and pressure 
  • Set up your bike position
  • and suspension

Cross the apex, and exit in a better position than you ever have before...

... stun you competitors.
