Video Description

How does my cycling performance compare to the best riders in the world? I did a range of tests with WorldTour performance coach for team Bora-Hansgrohe, John Wakefield, at the Science To Sport laboratory in Girona, Spain to find out... A very big thank you to John for his time in making this video happen, and also to Darrel Fitzgerald for filming all the additional footage used in this vlog.

Girona is used for training for races such as the Tour de France, Volta Catalunya, Vuelta Espana, Paris-Nice, Giro d'Italia and more. Teams such as INEOS-Grenadiers, Israel-Premier Tech Pro Cycling, Human Powered Health, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team, UAE Team Emirates and others use Girona for team training camps and rider testing.
