	CYCLING PERFORMANCE TIPS - climbing
		Climbing ability is crucial in racing, and it depends on the power-to-weight ratio.
		For out of the saddle climbing or aggressive climbs (where you are accelerating or attacking on the saddle) put your thumbs on the hoods and rest one or two fingers on the levers or wrapped around underneath.
		Climbing should always be done in your comfort zone.

	Bicycle Setup Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In cycling the use of proper equipment and correct technique is essential for comfort, safety, performance and injury prevention.
		If your cycling is limited to 20-30 minutes, three times a week on a stationery bike in a gym, you probably don't need to run out.
		Cycling is a repetitive activity where the long time cyclist becomes strongly accustomed to a saddle height.

	Climbing specialist @ Sport.y2u.co.uk
		The job of a climber in a cycling team is to make the gruelling work of climbing long stretches easier for his team leader, whether in the peloton or in a breakaway.
		In a sustained climb, the average speed declines and the aerodynamic advantage of drafting is diminished and setting the pace of the group becomes more important.
		Climbing specialists use their superior abilities either to attack on climbs and thereby gap the competitors, knowing that only other climbing specialists will be able to stay with them, or simply to maintain a high pace that others cannot match.

		I carried on climbing, although less than I used to, as a lot of the moves (rock-overs for example) are painful.
		The sports specialist is telling me that following the injection, I would have to stop all physical activity for two days, then would be able to start cycling to work and swimming, and would be able to start climbing two weeks after the injection.
		Now the specialist wants to send me for a cortisone injection, as he claims this is the only way to break the circle and reduce the inflammation.

	megabeth: Cycling Archives
		Cycling is a team sport, so most team members sacrifice their individual goals in order to help a teammate win the race (think Floyd Landis working for Lance Armstrong).
		Cycling is also a team sport, and if you did not finish in the top six, you most likely helped someone else on your team finish in the top six, and teams who race together split their winnings at the end.
		I love to climb on my bike, and I have the advantage of diminutive physique, but I think that I could be faster at this type of cycling if I worked harder at it.

	CNN/SI - Cycling - Cycling ends turbulent year with uncertain future - Thursday December 31, 1998 05:52 PM
		The doping scandals that marred the Tour were of such magnitude that they not only overshadowed cycling, but proved to be a catalyst for doping controversies in other sports, such as soccer, and at the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
		Now, professional cycling enters perhaps the most important year in its history, with federations desperate to repair the sport's tattered image in the eyes of the public, sponsors and governments.
		Away from the drug scandals, climbing specialist Marco Pantani, who rides for Mercatone Uno, became the first cyclist to win the Tour of France and the Tour of Italy in the same year since Miguel Indurain in 1993.

	RTÉ.ie Sport - Cycling: Pantani found guilty of doping charges
		The charges arose when blood tests taken after the Italian cyclist's bad crash in the 1995 Milan-Turin race showed that his hematocrit level was 60 percent, strongly indicating the use of the banned hormone EPO.
		Pantani is a somewhat controversial figure in cycling; the most gifted climbing specialist of his generation, he was thrown off the 1999 Tour of Italy two days from winning the race when his red blood cell count was above the permitted 50 percent level.
		After a period of depression, he returned to competition this spring and won two of the hardest mountain stages in the Tour de France.

	Climbing specialist (cycling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Climbers with very small physique such as Roberto Heras (60 kg) and Gilberto Simoni (58 kg) thrive when the climbs reach dizzying heights and incredibly steep slopes where their low weight makes them more efficient and able to put in repeated acceleration runs.
		The last type of climber is the breakaway specialist who can ride aggressively with many attacks and sustain their lead over ascents, descents, and flats.
		Many riders who are primarily time-trialists have also been able to compete in everything but the steepest climbs because of their good power-to-weight ratio.

		The climbs are divided into categories from 1 (most difficult) to 4 (least difficult) based on their difficulty, measured as a function of their steepness and length.
		On ordinary stages that do not have extended mountain climbs, most riders can manage to stay together in the peloton all the way to the finish; during mountain stages, however, it is not uncommon for some riders to lose 40 minutes to the winner of the stage.
		Another famous mountain stage is the climb of the Mont Ventoux, often claimed to be the hardest climb in the Tour due to the harsh conditions there.
