Yeah, I'm not holding my breath for a detailed response either, despite the persistence of the request. More importantly, do we really expect there to be some magical nuggets in a training program which allows one to ride for 51 minutes in the TT position at 268w? (albeit at altitude)
My take on Andy's comment above was that he attributed more to his aero characteristics and the race conditions than his training program (possibly excepting the use of his oxygen tent for altitude acclimation) this year. That excellent run was a product of racing skill rather than training.
