Its idiots like you that have no grasp of science that have schools the USA
teaching "creationism" along side evolution. Get a clue and stop banging
your sister.



Evolution is garbage science, news flash mutations almost always are
harmful. Psst the emperor has no clothes. We are not looking for a
missing link but 300 million of them and the fossil record does not
support it. If evolution is true than the fossil record should have
numerous examples of one species transforming into another.

Perhaps, but doing sprint work will do a etter job. Besides, what
does cross have to do with any of this? If you're good at cross, you
maintain much of yur speed after the run. Really, cross is a poor way
to improve your sprint. Although it might help maintain TT
performance, but at Basso's level specificity of training is critical.
The idea that cross will do anything but maintain some fitness is
far-fetched at best.

BE SPECIFIC with your training if you want specific results!

Doing one hour sprint intervals will help your sprint.

How would that help TT performance (considering TTing is a relatively steady
state effort)?

Repeated sprint intervals during an hour could allow you to sprint better in
a road race or criterium because you'll train yourself to be more recovered,
or more rested when it comes time to begin the sprint.

Doing sprints or very short intervals while your legs are already loaded
with lactate (I guess this is part of cross racing) will simulate the
conditions you'll face when the sprint begins in most other races.

Way too many people think sprint training is only done with full recovery
between 200-300m sprints.

Thanks. But whatever may be the verdict, I'm sure Basso did it just for
fun. Mainly.

Actually, it probably wouldn't. I was merely making the point that it
would probably be better for TTing. Having said that, there is a great
deal of evidence that indicates interval (intermittent) training is
very good for improving TT performance. Cross won't help your sprint
though.

I think this whole thread can be summed up by saying that if Basso
wants to work on his sprint during the off-season, he should do Six
Days like Erik Zabel, Giovanni Lombardi and Matthe Pronk...

Perhaps he wanted to work on his bike handling skills, too.

If you want to list all the road sprinters; Max van Heeswijk and Aart
Vierhouten, too. In Amsterdam anyway. Vierhouten appeared in the clip I
posted, talked about how his speed went well this season. He did a few
sixes (or at least one) and other track work last winter and feels it
helped him, so he's doing it again. Like Lombardi, he can be (and is) a
main lead-out man and maybe a sprinter in his own right. There were a
couple of races this year when McEwen had quit and Vierhouten could go
for his own chances. He placed well a few times. Who knows, maybe he
will finally "discover" himself, like van Heeswijk in the past years.
