I did not intended to post on this thread again, but a newspaper interview I've just read changed my mind.
Although I did not advocate, as was suggested, a training programme which just consisted of loads of miles I cannot stop myself from drawing attention to Mark Cavendish's comment in yesterday's Observer Sport Monthly magazine. Cavendish claims that he reckons to do approaching 30,000 miles a year, which can't leave him much time for anything else.
Of course I know he came away from the Olympic Velodrome empty handed, but I know which I'd prefer if I had to choose between track medals and Tour stage wins.
