HOW GENERATION PEACH FUZZ KEPT THE YELLOW JERSEY

GENERATION PEACH FUZZ HAVE TAKEN OVER THE PELOTON AT THE TDF.  Tade, 22.  Jonas, 25. Mathieu, 26.  All killed the TT today.  These guys look like babies.  And, the way Matieu kept the yellow jersey...

... was pure child's play.

Up until the last two turns it was a dead heat.  In fact, I think most thought Tade was going to take over the yellow.  

But, go back and watch those final turns.

Matieu railed 'em.

Nobody looked as fast, powerful and confident.

How'd he do it?

He's a great bike handler.  Great!

Over and over the commentators will say Oh rider X came up mountain biking, he's a great bike handler.  And it's true.  Mountain bikers are great bike handlers.  I think it's because they play around with things more.

For example, MTBrs will go over and over different ways to enter corners...

lay it over?
heavy on the front end?
lock up the rear and slide in?
lower PSI?
brake through turn or brake before and coast through?

... a million options and the mountain bikers are playing with them all the time.

I'm going off on a tangent here, but...

... MTB riders never point stuff out and consequently don't expect things to be pointed out.  They look after themselves.

I guess my point is this...

... if you're not feeling superconfident with your skills play around a little more.

Road or dirt, go find a corner and take it over and over again.  Different angles of entry, different braking points, different air pressures, etc.

It's worth it.

You'll be faster and have more fun...

... like a child.
