Cyclist see what pros do and mimic them. It's an age old thing, but their training regimes are very, very different to your average mamil.
The scientific evidence to support additional core strength or functional trunk strength for cyclists is minimal, and most studies suggest that the majority of cyclists get the core strength they need from riding their bikes.
I don't see how that position suggests I need to make my mind up on winter base training, which Dimi was clearly suggesting should be long, steady miles with no threshold work.
