Another day and another podium for !! She continues to find different ways to succeed. This time she took a flier with 400m to go in an elite bunch and just got caught on the line!!

After 2 months in Belgium she has one more race today in the “flatlands” before heading to France for what’s known as the “Junior Tour de France”. Bring on the climbing legs! 💪💪

What a great time to be a coach! Well done on an amazing result in your first ever elite Tour . 1st place U19 rider but even more impressive 11th overall in Elites (on a course that technically doesn’t suit you!!).

Your hard work and dedication is paying off! 💪💪💪

Another proud coaching moment! Well done Hannah for another great ride on a course that wasn’t built for you!!

Congrats also to Cameron who once again made us proud with an amazing ride in the Crit (plenty of TV time!) and a very courageous ride in the road race the next day in pretty brutal conditions!!

Congratulations Hannah Gianatti
Queen of the Mountain and 5th overall in U19 Women.

Two great weeks of racing completed by several of the Bikefit Sport Science Athletes.

Last week was the National road series tour of Gippsland. Although eligible to race in the U19 category, first year U19, chose to step up to the elite womens NRS and did incredibly well. Hannah was consistent across the four stages. She probably would have hoped for more hills but despite this, Hannah got a top 10 finish in the big bunch sprint on stage 3. Likewise was finished 7th in the same stage in the men’s category and got 6th in the young riders GC for the tour.

This weekend was the NSW state open event, the Odd Spoke Cup. So good to be able to race with Hannah in the race. She spent a lot of time off the front attacking in against all the boys! raced in division 1 along with some other NRS racers who he raced last week at Gippsland. In a strong competitive field. He ended up 🥉.

On top of the above we had a couple of other great personal performances from BikefitSS riders last week at the Gears and Beers gravel race as well!

Successful two weeks as a coach. Proud to see how these riders progress in the future.

A mixed weekend for Cameron Winfield last weekend with two big races in Northern Italy with his team Down Under Cycling Academy . A nasty crash around 80km into Saturdays race saw him lose some skin but nothing was broken (and the bike was ok!!). After a fairly painful night the team headed out to Brenta for a big UCI race . A flat tyre 30km in meant a chase back on through the convoy but he made it back to the bunch. A 1000m vertical climb faced the riders at the 120km mark!! A special experience for Cameron to make it to the finish line in one brutal race against the best in the business!!

Thanks to supporting Cam and the rest of the team across both days!!

Now for a week of training before 2 more big races on the weekend!!

One of the hardest parts of coaching young riders is enforcing adequate recovery. Younger riders just want to train hard every day cos “that’s how you get better right?”. It’s a very hard mentality to overcome but the physiological gains that come when an athlete is recovered are massive. It also allows for better quality high intensity sessions. In cycling, recovery doesn’t have to mean a day off but must be easy intensity and reduced volume. While most athletes don’t enjoy complete days off it doesn’t hurt for junior riders to take complete days off to rest (and I find it the best way to ensure that young riders actually do “recover”). Alternatively, fun flat rides exploring like the one Cam and I did yesterday are just the ticket to refresh the body and mind and get ready for the next hard session.

Days like today being the coach is great!! Sitting in the warm car while climbed the passo sella on the way to Canazei was awesome!! Luckily the morning snow had stopped by the time we got to the top. Hard to believe the Giro went over here just a few days ago!!
