Just out of curiosity: Who has some (links to) good information regarding the training schedules of professional cyclists? It's not too difficult to find out the race schedule for any particular rider; but I don't know of good sources as to how pro's get/remain in the required shape. I figure it would make for an impressive read.
What types of training rides do they do, how long, how often, etc.?
You sometimes read rather vague statements such as 'rider X does about 30.000 km a year' or 'rider y rides at least five hours a day'. But I have never seen more specific testimony of the hardships of pro cyclismo. Sure, mileages will vary, generalisations are impossible and some secrets will not be unveiled.
Still, any pointers are welcome. Thanks in advance!
