I thought Highroad didn't do oldschool?

Dumbass -

They're actually not frail at all. They are the opposite. The frail
ones' bodies can't handle the training load and never make it to that
level. A person with average constitution would never make it. The
training load weeds them out.

The only reason the racers are frail during a GT is they're spending 5
hours/day on their bikes at race intensities, sleeping in a different
bed every night, eating at a different hotel, dealing with transfers,
the media, etc. etc. etc.

thanks,

Someone added the " which is odd considering how tough the
sport really is" at the end of my last sentence. I didn't imply it very well
but should have mentioned frail after the training ramp-up and subsequent 2
weeks of immune-compromising racing. you're right in that a regular Joe with
the usual moans and groans would never be able to handle the training. I
still think they are going a bit far by avoiding the A/C. Utilizing their
own cook and food supplies when possible sounds good though.

My goal in cycling was to get to a level where the fields were so big
and we rode so close to each other than getting air became a
factor....
