A video essay discussing how crank length affects cycling performance and making the argument that shorter is better. Since posting this I have come to learn that cycling guru Max Testa now believes that 155mm crank length is optimum crank length for TT for most pro cyclists and that John Cobb tested the principles put forth in the video and found a 30% drag reduction (a potential 25 minute IM bike split improvement). -Frank Day | ||||

Vilamoura recebe estágio da seleção de Triatlo 2010
Vanessa Fernandes lidera chamada
Para o estágio, que será também o primeiro sob a orientação da nova equipa técnica, liderada por Manuel Alves, foram convocados 40 atletas, que no decurso de 2010 representaram as seleções de triatlo e duatlo. A lista contempla vários escalões, sendo liderada por alguns dos nomes mais importantes da modalidade, entre eles Vanessa Fernandes, João Silva, Bruno Pais, Maria Areosa, Duarte Marques, Bárbara Clemente, Sérgio Silva, João Pereira e Pedro Gomes.
É com grande expectativa, de resto, que se aguarda pelos trabalhos em Vilamoura, no sentido de saber se efetivamente a vice-campeã olímpica vai comparecer. É que desde que deixou o CAR do Jamor, que Vanessa Fernandes tem falhado, por diversas razões, os estágios para os quais tem sido convocada.
A filha de Venceslau Fernandes, que coloca a hipótese de ir para a Austrália em janeiro, tem agora dividido a preparação entre o CAR de Montemor-o-Velho e os treinos em casa, em Perosinho.
