This is such a refreshing approach to examining elite endurance performance through testing in the field. Bak Klaris et al put 12 elite cyclists through a 6 hour simulated road race. Then then measured different power outputs, fat oxidation and lactate during and after the simulation. Some very interesting observations regarding durability with potential implications for training and racing... Here's me and the last author, Professor Lars Nybo, discussing their results. https://lnkd.in/dKrXvhAF

Great article by Alex, here, summed up the chaotic Grand Prix well

Formula 1 Eyes Expansion: GM Set to Join the Grid in 2026 Last updated minutes ago Formula 1 is poised to expand its grid to include an 11th team by 2026, with General Motors (GM) at the forefront of this new venture.

Here is my review of the Monaco Grand Prix 2024!

July 27th, LONG TRACK RACE!!!! Yes, that's right, Saturday night the 27th we will be using BOTH SIDES so bring your walking shoes if you plan to crash, 😂🤣😁 This will be 7" specific so if you have a 7'incher you like to show off, this is the race for you! 🍆🌶 This is primarily a Street League points race. (The other half from the one we held during Mayhem earlier this year.) Depending on if enough people have them, we may also throw in a heat or two of the MultiGP Pro Spec 7'inchers, just know these won't be seeded into finals and won't get SL points from those heats. OR... We may run the entire SL race and then run some Pro Spec heats for fun afterward, again all depends on if we have enough folks wanting to do that, so here's your "Heads-Up". So mark your calendars, apply for your hall pass, and hope to see you there!!!!! Entry fee with be $20 and signup is here - https://lnkd.in/gf5xbxvF
