Hello
I have been watching you race and reading your training notes. It seems you ride most days and for long distances. I am curious, and wonder if you can tell me, when you train what sort of speeds do you train at?
I hope you find the time to write back - if not all the best for future races
Kind Regards
Ruth

Dear Mr.Downing,

I am currently studying at Edinburgh University for an Masters degree in Strength and Conditioning, and about to start my own research project (dissertation) over the Easter/summer months. I compete in triathlons (hoping to qualify for the worlds in Australia this year) but want to base my research around professional cycling.

Currently I'm exploring the effect of Caffeine or Caffeine+Carbohydrates on endurance road cycling. However, from your point of view is there any un-answered questions in your training or competition that you feel need to be researched in more depth. Or is there anything you feel needs to be tested (supplements/training methods) before you try it out, which may give professional cyclists like your self a competitive edge.

I appreciate you are a busy man, but any feedback would be of great interest.

Yours Sincerely,

Daniel Sims

Great to see you deliver a superb performance at the World Championships. Congratulations.

Thanks for taking time to pose for photos at the Glasgow start of the TofB. Best of luck with next season - though we will probably see less of you if you end up with a Euro based team.

Russ,
What can I say. I have always thought you deserved a much bigger stage than your career as led you on so far. And this was it!
Glued to the screen the whole week but Sunday-well-wow.
I have watched a lot of races but this was one of the most inspiring rides I have ever seen!!
Theres solo efforts and big climb efforts but to ride like ya did on such a tough circuit with so many big names and big teams, you were awesome.
Great strength, never say die, determination and true Yorkshire grit.

Well done and enjoy the moment
Oh lots of praise for your tema aswell.
