How focused are you?
BEINg FOCUSED IS THE gREATEST DETERMINANT OF SUCCESS.BEINg FOCUSED IS HAVINg THE DRIVE TO TRAIN, COME RAIN OR SHINE, TO pUSH YOURSELF TO THE OUTER LIMITS. TO NEVER RETREAT OR SURRENDER. TO NEVER gIVE Up OR FEEL THAT YOU HAVE FAILED YOURSELF. TO ONLY EVER CARRY ON AND FIgHT. TO gET BACK ON YOUR BIKE AND RIDE THAT ExTRA MILE EVERYDAY UNTIL YOUR LEgS NO LONgER FEEL THE BURN AND pAIN. THAT’S WHEN YOU KNOW YOU HAVE IT WITHIN YOURSELF TO SUCCEED, TO WIN, TO CONqUER WHATEVER OBSTACLES OR CHALLENgES ARE SET BEFORE YOU. BE FOCUSED.
RYDER HESjEDALGarmin-Sharp-Barracuda
This year I focused on the Giro d’Italia and I won it! It feels good and I’ve made history: I’m the first ever Canadian to win the Maglia Rosa. The pink jersey represents one of the highest accolades of sporting success and identifies you as one of the greatest riders in cycling. For me it’s a dream come true. I couldn’t be happier. This is the result of a life of hard work, focus and dedication. I’ve worked on my weakness and developed my strengths. I’ve been dedicated to achieving my goals and now it’s all been worth it. The Giro d’Italia was my first big objective of the season, my main aim, the goal I’d agreed with my Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda team. I was considered an outsider for overall victory but I loved the challenge of racing. I stayed focused day after day. I wasn’t scared to attack and then fought hard to defend my chances before securing victory in the final time trial in Milan. That was one of the most emotional days of my life but was also a day of celebration that I was able to share with my wife, my family and my friends. Winning is never easy in cycling but the challenge makes success extra special. That’s why we do all this work and make so many personal sacrifices. Then you have to seize the moment when they’re there. That’s cycling. That’s what I love about our sport.
What’s your goal in cycling? What do you love about cycling? What are you focused on?
11 FOCUSED
Before every race I take time out to focus on my goals, my strategy and my mental strength. This photograph was taken just a couple of hours before the start of Milano-Sanremo. It was a big goal for me. I’d won Tirreno-Adriatico and I was team leader at Liquigas-Cannondale. Everyone was looking to me to go on the attack on the Poggio and win.
That put pressure on me but I’m used to pressure and responsibility. It’s part of being a professional rider. I stay focused. I knew I’d done everything right to be ready to race. I’ve done the training and racing. My bike and equipment was ready. The team tactics had been decided and I knew my teammates would be there to help me. We were all focused on success.
You probably all understand what I mean. You train hard to be at your best and look after your bike for your own events. Your goal might be a Granfondo, sportive or new best time for your favourite ride.
We are all cyclists. We are all focused.
VINCENZO NIBALITeam Liquigas-Cannondale
I worked hard to win the Tour de France but now I know it was all worth it. For months I trained hard and stayed focused. I suffered at training camps and sacrificed time with my family to be in the best possible form. I carefully selected my equipment studing every marginal gain. I knew that 2012 was my chance to win and I did it. I’ve dreamt of winning the Tour de France ever since I was a teenager growing up in Britain. I rode my bike at home while watch Miguel Indurain on television and pretended I was racing against him. He always won our personal head to head battles but he inspired me to become a professional rider.
My victory has surprised some people but I know who I am, where I come from and what I’ve done to win the Tour de France. I wasn’t as dedicated as I should have been in the early years of my career but I knew I had the potential and the physical ability to achieve my goals. My name goes in the record books as the winner of the Tour de France but I couldn’t have done it without my Team Sky teammates. It took dedication and hard work, belief and focus from everyone involved to make it happen.
What about you? Are you focused enough on your goals?

KURVEA DYNAMICRIDINgINTERFACE
FLEx TECHNOLOgIESWing Flex™Flexible sides adapt to the pedalling motion of the rider. Wing Flex™ is reactive, working with the rider not against him.
Twin Flex™ Interwoven fibres form a flexing hammock. Twin Flex™ is interwoven shell fibres with a hammock-like flex. The ‘hammock’ is a reflexive interface with the rider’s soft tissues, nerve tissues, and pudental arteries.
MOBIUS RAILMobius is a circular rail construction that has no beginning and no end. Constructed using cold forged 2014-T6 alloy aluminium. The Mobius construction provides the rail and the shell greater flexibility and support.
RE:FLExThe entire base of all Kurve saddles is a sensory receptor that responds to the body in motion, mirroring its every twist and turn. The Re:Flex construction is made of thermoplastic composite materials using long filament composites in specific alignments. The result is reactive: the saddle follows the movement of the rider’s contact points, optimizing the interaction between rider and saddle.
TUNERThere are 2 different tuners: soft and hard. This interchangeable tension system allows the rider to customize their flex. The rider can personalize the saddle tension by simply changing a screw-on insert.

I am thirty five years old, I’ve been a professional cyclist since I was nineteen. It seems, and in many ways is, a lifetime ago that I turned pro. I’ve seen the sport grow and change in so many ways, almost all of them for the better.
I live in Girona, Catalunya, the home of modern professional cycling. We are dozens who have chosen to make this our home from home, the place we come to train and rest while we wait to race.
We live by the seasons: winter is for the long coffee stop rides where stories are told and listened to over and over again. For one month in spring all we think about is cobblestones and weather and every single one of us seems to be flying before a few break bones. Summer sees us testing on the local mountain Rocacorba and riding into the Pyrenees for pre-TdF training camps worrying about weight and thinking about power. Autumn see’s us winding down, many heading back to their home countries while other’s train furiously for the Worlds before the annual holiday begins and it all starts again.
Even after so many years of this cycle of seasons I am not tired. I think this is because I’ve grown to love cycling more, the young me wouldn’t stop for a coffee, he wouldn’t have cared about a view. It was all about numbers. Now it’s more than that, I find my focus in the bigger picture. That’s why I love cycling, it’s taught my where my focus truly is.DAVID

I’m always looking forward. When I have good times and even more when I have bad times. I look forward for a reason, for a goal, for a dream. Olympic games are coming closer and this year I’m really focusedw on the Medals and Gold is the one you want to come back home with.
Everyday I wake up at 8:00 by my phone who says “Road to a Medal-London 2012”. Some days I train hard, than harder and harder, and when I feel pain in my legs, when I’m tired, when I would like to give up, I look forward and see the finish line with five rounds just in front of me. And I keep fighting and being focused on my goal, the BIG GOAL.
And what about you? Be focused my friend...

TRI 96CHRISSIE WHELLINgTON4 X Ironman World Champion
Triathlon requires a huge commitment and focus. When I’m preparing for a long race – particularly Kona - I train quite a bit on my own because the race is a physical challenge as much as a mental one. The solitude toughens you up mentally. And I’m a great believer that the mind rules the body.
But each time I train I’m leaving my family and that’s always been a big challenge for me. Every athlete draws inspiration from somewhere and that’s where I get mine. The sacrifices that I make and that the family makes weigh heavily on my mind when I’m training and racing. It’s my focus – and it motivates me to get the most out of myself, to thank them for the sacrifices that they’ve made for me.
Being World Champion is a reminder of just how hard I’ve pushed myself but it’s no longer about winning or losing, it’s about maximizing my potential and perfecting the performance. It’s about going beyond the limits that others have set for me and that I’ve set for myself. What volume of pain are you willing to accept to test your own limits? You have to be prepared to go very deep and that’s the beauty of Kona. It’s an honest race against yourself and your own limits. And there’s fear because you never know how it’s going to unfold or how much it’s going to hurt. But for me that’s part of the challenge.
It’s okay not to win but it’s not okay to give up. It’s not just a physical race – it’s so much more than that, and that’s why I love it.

The night before a race requires dedicated time to prepare my gear for the next day. The last thing I’d want to do is disrupt my mental focus during the race simply because I forgot something. All the hard work is done; all that’s left is organizing my gear and a good night’s sleep.
I arrive in Kona two weeks early to acclimate, and even though I’m doing short runs, morning swims, and some easy spins on the bike, I’m in rest mode and I’m preparing myself mentally. Mental preparation for an Ironman is huge. You have to have an edge, the mental strength for the rough patches.
There are so many things you think about out there. Am I fueling adequately? Have I had too many carbs? Do I need salt? Do I have enough electrolytes? And my competitors - where are they? How far back are they? How far ahead? It’s easy for your mind to wander throughout the 140.6 miles but you’ve got to bring it back to what you’re doing, why you’re there and try to remember to stay positive.
Pushing through the pain is always when I’m most focused. We train every day for this. We get used to being in that uncomfortably comfortable state. But if you want to win – not just finish but win – you’ve got to be willing to go the next level. That’s when I’m truly focused.

3-D FLEx Material: Podiaflex ®Metaplate: Ortholite ® foamHeelCup: Tepex
TRANSFLUX C reinforcement layer at the heel provides rigid support structure to align the foot and the body.
Podiaflex N material can be “thermo” formed to customize the insole to fit your unique foot shape using SIDAS technologies Flashfit Sytem.This sustainable material is composed of polyester resin, EVA and wheat middlings.Wheat middlings are the coarse and fine particles of wheat from the “tail of the mill” or waste left from wheat manufacturing.
Low rebound Ortholite foam used at metaplate and along entire length of insole for maximum comfort and absorption of road shock.

CYRANO CARBONSO SLEEK AND SIMpLE TO MOUNT200 gRAMS OF BONAFIDE BEAUTY
SEATpOSTDesigned to work with standard 7mm round rails and oval cross-section rails up to 10.3mm height.Clamping mechanism designed with installation in mind. Easy saddle installation without disassembling clampor bolt. Faster initial assembly and saddle/seatpost swaps.Narrow upper clamp increases true offset. The true limit of rear ward saddle position is the contact point between saddle rail and seatpost top clamp. The narrow top clamp greatly increases aft positioning options of the saddle. Ultra-wide lower clamp: increases contact surfacebetween clamp and rails; provides exceptional railsupport, specifically for carbon rails; increases loaddistribution; reduces pressure peaks on the rails;provides forward adjustment option as on a straight post. Ultra low profile upper clamp: minimal distancebetween rail and upper surface of upper clamp/bolt at 7mm provides design compatibility with our tighter rail-to-saddle shell distances; low profile design improves visual aesthetics and increases space for the Twin Flex properties of the Aliante, Arione and KURVE. Safety: under unexpected impact, the saddle base is less likely to hit the bolt/upper clamp.
