Where's your attention? How long do you think you're looking at your bike computer for?
The clip is 2 seconds, where I'm looking down at the computer, but it feels like 10.
That's too long when hurtling along in a peloton of 150 riders.
Replace the bike computer; reduce distraction.

"It’s just another race." As I tried to temper my nerves, I thought about all the reasons why that might be the case. Yet this level, my first dot PRO race, was unlike anything I’d experienced before.

A great start to the year for the first two race days of 2025. I was launching to try and catch the break, I did my job and had good sensations in the legs.
However, deep into the third stage, it all came tumbling down, quickly....
