Levi was technically superior on Brasstown Bald

It's been a while since the last post. Things have been crazy and I'm not getting enough miles.

On to things that are more interesting...
I had the opportunity to watch the VS coverage of the Tour de Georgia. Specifically, I watched the mountain stage to Brasstown Bald. One observation was glaringly obvious. Compared to the other riders, Levi finished the stage like he was on a Sunday cruise. Everyone else looked like they were coming apart.

What was the difference? Technique, technique, technique. It's not like Levi is that much more powerful than everyone else. Ok, let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's more powerful, but it still doesn't matter. He was still able to harness his power and translate it to the wheel better than every other rider.

Go to the VS website and watch it. Hopefully the video is still there. He was perfectly quiet on the bike. All the other guys were flailing all over the bike and road.

There are ways to tap into technique. Once your technique it mastered, you can apply power to the wheel.
