Intermediate season

It's been calm for a while on our blog.
After the ROC d'AZUR which was our last competition of 2017, we've been resting, eating and sleeping a lot.
Trying to live like pros is not that much of a sacrifice for us, but it's mainly our daily job that makes the difference.

So between job and sleeping time, we have to plan our training schedule.
As I am particularly addicted to my opinions on training methods, this winter we have to plan even better then last one, because there's simply more to do.
So that is what were trying to do.





Focus is now on building strength and working on technical skills. From next week endurance training, core stability (which is almost on the program all year) and cyclocross are our aiming points.

Next season we also will be riding new bikes. Canyon is providing the frames and the technical assistance, while Crankbrothers once again will be our main partner. The complete COBALT 11 range will once again make our bikes hugely exotic.

Our Scottish partners from Endura are protecting and covering us with the MTR and MT500 range. Specifically high end and technical MTB clothing for all conditions.

Also Fizik is willing to support our asses and feet next year. And thanks to Absolute Black our world will be oval and not round. The rubber will be provided by Schwalbe in 2018.

Muc Off and Overstims need some more time to reply, but normally we'll be continuing our partnership next season. All depends on the budgets...

New for next year is the partnership with KOGEL high quality ceramic bearings. Thanks to Ard Kessel for the confidence.

It seems perhaps stupid, but a lot of our spare time is also going into the contact between partners, planification of the competitions and getting the financial plan together.

So that's why we're not posting a lot of our adventures for the moment. We're not sitting on our lazy asses, but it's probably boring to read about our weightlifting and our diet very often.
