Category VII Cycling

Taking a page from the days when riders would sometimes through a leg over their bikes for the first time when they lined up at the start of Paris-Nice, Oscar Friere tells L'Equipe that "80% is sufficient for Milan-San Remo." Noting that the race is one with smarts more than legs, the former Primavera winner and World Champion noted, "with 100% form, you actually have more opportunities to lose."

Apparently the "psych-out" is also a page from the old Eddy Merckx book...
