Episode notes
Flying 200 Is Hyper-Specific
- Flying 200m is a highly technical, specific effort requiring precise cadence, gear choice and track read-in.
- Track geometry and transitions change optimal gearing and pacing between velodromes, so small differences matter a lot.
Invalidated 9.06 Became Motivation
- Emma explains Matty's Konya Nations Cup 9.06 ride that was later invalidated because he rode off the track before rejoining.
- She frames that disallowed performance as a blessing that led to a new focused world record campaign.
Dial Gear To The Track
- Dial in gear and cadence specifically for the target track rather than defaulting to comfort choices.
- Test flying efforts on the new track to replicate the exact cadence needed for the target time.
