Calpe Training Camp: The Rest Day
Thank you, Rest Day. You’ve been great.
What does a Rest Day for Team RadioShack even mean? It definitely did not mean sleeping until noon and a day in pajamas. And, it definitely did not mean bikes collected dust, untouched in the Big Rig. Rest Day simply meant there was no mandatory training ride.
Most bikes enjoyed some quality time with their rider on an hour or two spin. The guys referred to this as a “Coffee Ride”…Or that’s how I’ve translated it to English. Accustomed to the waking up at the same time each morning, riders sat lounging around the breakfast table around 9:00am. On days like this there are definite luxuries. With legs kicked up on chairs and newspapers scattered about, morning chatter was more relaxed and cheerful.

JB Junior's Blog: New Season, New Team
Hello Team Radioshack fans:
It’s been quite a while since my last post. Technically this is the first one in the new season for Team RadioShack.
What can I say? It’s been a long cold and wet winter. Now, laying on the bed in Calpe Spain, it’s all forgotten. I’m ready. Honestly I cant wait to spend a week with all the guys, staff, supporters and sponsors of this new, best team/family I could only dream to be a part of. But first let’s talk about what I’ve been up to until now.
Calpe Training Camp: It's All Uphill From Here
I'm winding down today's blog looking at Johan, Dirk and Alain seated across the lobby. They use these quiet evenings to talk logistics and racing strategy. They're huddled over this seasons schedule, making a few tweaks and adjustments. Determining who rides at each race, staffing and equipment logistics is a complex process. Check back throughout the season as we'll announce rosters for each race in the Media Section.
Today we kicked it up a notch and two mountains. We spent six hours on the bike with the rookies being given the option to peel off early (Hour 4). With five more days at camp, we know these guys are tough as nails. However, it is necessary for Johan to set these appropriate riding limits for them as strength and conditioning is a gradual process at the next level.
Calpe Training Camp: Business as Usual
We wanted to start today’s blog with a belated welcome. As a lot of you already heard, Fumiyuki Beppu has officially joined Team RadioShack. Beppu flew into camp two days ago and was extremely excited to see old teammates from Discovery Channel and start a new chapter with Johan and the boys.
Beppu is a native of Japan, but lives and trains in France. Needless to say, he will be an incredible asset, bringing the same competitive spirit that characterizes this entire team. He’s an aggressive beast on the bike, but off the bike , a “class act” everyone enjoys getting to know. Welcome, Beppu!
