Pantani
No many people know, but the great Italian climber was also a great descend rider.
Particularly for positioning with his tummy on the saddle and his crutch at few milliliter from the back wheel.
I would not suggest you trying, because need a lot of practising, and Marco(Pantani) had a lot of empty roads to do it in is native Italian region.
Also need a lot of courage to ride at 70/80 km/h (40miles/h circa) with the back wheel so near your precious part of the body.
Next interesting position
Maybe this one will be the next one?
I prefer the classic position with your hands on the drop and tuck in aero position. What about you?
Giuseppe Saronni
Do you know that Giuseppe Saronni used to train in the summer most of the time with a woollen top, he use to say : Hey ragazzi (guys) I need to sweat. But most of the time before he would sweat he made us sweat so much
About
Hi!
My name is Flavio Zappi, an ex-professional cyclist from Italy, currently living and racing in the U.K with the Zappi’s Cycling club.
Why this blog? Well, different reasons..
I suppose the main purpose is to share with other sports lovers such as myself, my experiences (both past and present), my attempts at improving training approaches, and valuable conversations with professionals or just cycling lovers from the cycling world.
I hope you can find something of value in my blog, and any feedback will be really appreciated!
Thanks!
