Yeah, he does loads of miles (this year he's averaged about 400 a week), but there's a lot more to it than that, Some people didn't do those crazy miles, Mike Hall for example. It's also about consistency, panning, mental fortitude, etc. I've been super fit and had lots of time on the bike for several events and my head has total let me down on the day(s) and I've bailed due to a small issue that really shouldn't have stopped me pushing on. All I can do is learn from these experiences, and go back and try again!
