Porte to sleep in ‘marginal gains’ motorhome during Gi💫ro d’🅘Italia
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team Sky confirmed on Sunday that Porte will sleep alone in the motorhome, believing it is worth the cost and effort of driving the vehicle to every race hotel and parking it outside. Porte will eat with his teammates in the hotel but revealed to Cyclingnews and Gazzetta dello Sport that he will have his ev♑ening massage in the motorh🏅ome.
“It’s good to have your own space and not have to pack and unpack your suitcase every day. It’s also nice to be able to get away from the race a little. It’s also a sanctuary in there. It’s lovely inside, it’s nice and cool and quit💯e luxurious. The most important thing for me is that it has a goodไ bed. Come ten o’clock I can go to bed and sleep well.
“Usually my massage is always in a soigneur🐟’s room but it’s easier to come back and have massage and physio in the same room.”
Team 🌱Sky could use a similar motorhome during the Tour de France for team leade꧒r Chris Froome. Team manager Dave Brailsford was apparently inspired by Formula 1 pilot and Motor GP pilots sleeping in luxury motorhomes at race circuits around the world rather than in hotel. The motorhome is yet another so-called 'marginal gains' innovation after the British team looked to gain any possible legal advantage that can help their athletes' performances.
In recent years, Team Sky has introduced numerous innovations that challenge the traditional way of doing things in pr🎉ofessional cycling. Rivals teams have often gone on to copy them to try to stay competitive.
“I think it’s 🥂a good thing. It’s the way the sport might move forward,” Porte suggested. “We did the warm-up and cool down and now everyone does it too. The sport is always moving forward and I think this is a good way forward. I think our team will do it more often.”
