it always surprises me when i see a matchup like kenney vs bauge and kenney just pulls away at the end not even stressing out.
do they have a cleaner technique than most? ive only really been following track for a couple months so i dont know everything about it but its damn cool
It could be one of many things...or a combination of many things. I know that sounds vague, but there is no easy answer. There is SO much that goes into creating an athlete like Kenny, Bauge, Hoy, Pendleton, etc...

- Training (bike and weight room)
- Diet
- Supplements
- Tactics
- Mental Prep
- Equipment
- Experience

ANY one of those could have been the winning factor. Also, any one of those could cause one to lose. It's easier to lose a race than it is to win one. There are also more way to lose than there are to win.
