Oh communication is so important, isn't it? There's even an old Slim Gaillard song about that I used to lindy hop to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teaxWYRH9A4

What I've read, Kiesenhofer would have preferred to race the time trial instead of the the road race, she even told that the austrian press just before the race. A breakout gives you the advantage of riding your own pace at our optimal and constant power level; something a you can't in a breakout group where the the lead does cycle and goes from hundrets watts to almost zero and back again. I guess it's partly due to her not being a professional (anymore), thus not having to deal with team trainings and training mostly on her own? Not sure on that.

- caycep 5y agoTotally, and way more fun to watch and even ride in too. I feel like pro cycling is way too cold and clinical these days.
- TomK32 5y agoMore time trials, that's what does mix up the Tour de France. I mean who needs a radio on a time trial anyways :-D
