      Could you get Pidcock on? What a career that kid has had while being so young and so early in his career.
      Still in awe and wonderment at those descending skills, the tour stage win, the Olympics and his Cross prowess.

    Why do I consider myself an all-rounder. First I'm almost forty, ride in crap weather(cold etc.) go up ridiculously steep hills forcefully, am 180 pounds(should be 170lbs. another story) I have no sponsorship and the terrain where I live is difficult. I like what the lady said about not being the fastest lol...consistency and the quality of miles(difficulty etc.) is important I feel.

    Climbing, (specially) time trialing and endurance can be trained. Sprinting ability is a different animal, as it involves recruitment of fast-twitch muscle fibers. Genetics play a major role here.
