I’ve ridden for a year. I’m 43. And I know I’m a shit rider. But I also know I’m tired and a family man and all sorts of other stuff I can only train 6-7hrs a week.

BUT. I think I have a better chance scoring a goal against an NHL goalie, getting on base vs an mlb pitcher, grabbing a ball from an NFL qb, scoring a bucket against an NBA… etc. any sport honestly - than keeping pace with the peleton for 10 mins. Let alone 4 hrs a day for 2w straight. It’s literally impossible for anymore. These guys would destroy anyone. And there even 2 that destroys everyone else on the tour also.

Whoa. Adding more. Scoring a PK against the worst champions league goalie, and scoring a pt against a tennis pro. I think scoring a PK I give myself a 20% success chance. And scoring a pt in a pro tennis match 0.1%
