Technological doping
What kind of person uses doping? It’s a weakness in somebody who looks for tricks and frills. A person who has so little regard for himself that he thinks he is incapable of reaching his objectives without the “help” of an outside doctor or technology. These are persons who should be helped and not just criticized (even if this comes naturally).
Positioning of the cleats
The position on the bike can be modified in three points: the saddle, the handlebars (and the aerobars for the triathlete), and the shoes/pedals.
Let’s start from here: objectivity and reasonability. Sport does not pay our bills.
Objectivity means realizing that we are not competing to excel in the professional sphere and to know that what we are doing is not our work. Reasonability is knowing that we are working towards improving ourselves rather than winning.
The Athlete 3.0.
The job of an athlete (cyclists and others) has changed profoundly over the last years and today I would like to discuss how this job has become more complex and requires more energy.
Jeroboam 2017: how to find out that “it will flatten out eventually” when tackling a climb is the same as saying “it will clear up” during rainy days
Guendalina is the Sales Manager for 3T Cycling that organized the first Jeroboam Gravel Challenge this year, a cycling race on gravel which passes through the wonderful vineyards of Franciacorta, alongside the Iseo lake, to finally reach the beautiful mountains. The race offers 3 routes: the Jeroboam 300km, the Magnum 150km, and the Standard 75km. Her first time participating in such a race, Guendalina chose the intermediate route and told us with great irony about her exceptional journey with the Exploro, the high-performing gravel frame of 3T.
Gravel: a new era for cycling
One of the most interesting developments of the past years in the world of cycling has been the launch of the gravel bike by the biggest brands. The gravel bike is a road bike that has been modified to be able to not only tackle the tarmac, but also unpaved roads, dirt tracks, and all those other roads normally only accessible to the mtb. Guendalina Dal Pozzo, Sales Manager with 3T Cycling, will tell us more about this world
Saddles
One of the questions I hear most often is “what kind of saddle would you advise me?”
The case of Aru: Seneca said 'Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body"
The injury that prevented Aru from participating in the Giro is one of those situations in which resilience becomes a precious instrument to be able to get back in the field after a forced stop. This holds true not only for injuries but for other situations as well.
Davide Cassani: “Encourage your kids to take on cycling. They will learn the values of effort and sacrifice and be taught the art of resilience.”
The Giro d’Italia is a great occasion for everybody. It is like a magnet attracting the curiosity of many passionate adults and a mass of television spectators who remain hypnotized by the heroic feats of the athletes. The Giro d’Italia is also a great occasion for the young. It provides an opportunity for them to be captured by an intuition, to be conquered by this sport and start their journey.
