I'm starting the movement #SignReini, because Reinardt Janse van Rensburg deserves a good team, he has won sprints ahead of Tour's former green jersey winner, he has won GC's with mountains defeating climbers such as M.A. López, and also some ITT's.
Please #SignReini.

There is nothing worth doing that is not scary. There is no one who has achieved greatness without wrestling with their own doubts, anxieties, and limitations.

Advice for young athletes - Don't look at yearly training numbers from top pros & try to duplicate it. Takes years to build foundation needed. You'll burn out if you try to jump straight to it. Did 12-14 quality hrs/wk when I started off-season training & slowly worked my way up.

You can plan all you want but sometimes things disrupt those plans. The most successful accept the disruptions and practice self-compassion by not feeling guilty about alterations to plans. Just roll with the punches and hop back on the bandwagon once you can. #TuesdayTip

If you're avoiding the gym and don't have a lot of free weights at home, incorporate some plyometrics into your training to help build power on the bike #TuesdayTip

It's time to go ALL-IN on making this sport a safer place for cyclists around the world!
We've put together a Rider Safety Reform Petition that we plan to take to the UCI in efforts to make some big changes in the sport.

How good is this.
Truckies are the best.
I’ve been driving country roads for 41 years and....
Repeat - truckies are the fricken best!

One of the best ways to perform better is to stop trying so hard to perform better and instead focus on doing whatever it is you are doing right now. Repeat this over and over and everything else (mostly) takes care of itself.
