Can Sprinters Time Trial?

As a youngster you will also no doubt know young riders that are very talented sprinters and endurance riders relative to people of their own age (in the UK we had Wiggins (now world pursuit champ) and Mathew Hayles (now on GB sprint squad)). For these young riders the sprint and endurance talent can be put down to 'talent', 'early development' and a concept that children & adolecents are not 'metabolic specialists'. The transition to world class level for these riders requires specialism to either sprint or endurance.


What about all-rounders like Domestic Pro Chris Horner? He is neither a sprinter or an endurance rider and still wins many races.
 
he is an endurance rider! All the road races riders are endurance riders! And Horner is very good in Time Trialing, so he has very good endurance capacities!
