When you’re passionate about what you do, it’s easy to get carried away. We’re probably all guilty of claiming on one or more occasion that the style of cycling we practice is superior to others. Thankfully, the Olympics are a healthy reminder that there are world-class cyclists absolutely killing it in every discipline.
Something a lot of people forget is that many athletes get their start riding a different style than they end up becoming famous for. Adaptability is probably the best weapon one can have to really excel in competition, and the ability to appreciate the strengths of those who differ from you is the mark of true sportsmanship.
