Isn’t it ironic that we’re so enamored with sprinting stats that we might as well be racing in a video game? If we keep glorifying those flashy numbers, are we really setting ourselves up for a long-term cycling career? What happens when the rubber meets the road, and riders can’t sustain their efforts because they’ve spent all their time chasing ephemeral glory? It’s like training for a marathon by only doing 100-meter dashes. How do we convince the cycling community to value endurance over quick wins? Are we just creating a generation of cyclists who can’t handle the grind?
