The muscle fiber post got me thinking (comparing sprint specialists to 800/1500 guys). I'm sure they cross train like runners do and I'm know that some of them have a background in track and field/triathlon/running. How many of them run significant mileage for cross training?
It's late and I'm not going to google right now. I'll check tomorrow but does anyone on here know much about the real (not projected) running capabilities of Tour cyclists?
