That's fine as far as it goes, but cycling racers are gonna train on public roads, that's pretty unavoidable. And cycling racers who also cycle-commute will probably want to leverage their commute into training.
I think you’re absolutely right, they will train on public roads. That seems to be the best place to do it. I know of several racers who use their commute for training. I take no issue with either of these things. If I raced, I probably WOULD use my commute for training, it’s 2 miles out of the city then 10 miles out in the country with generally light traffic. Perfect.
