Velo News - Inside the bizarre 2020 season restart
So far, the bizarre 2020 racing season has been defined by uncertainty.
During a typical season, every detail of the year is planned out and structured. We approach training and racing with a meticulous level of detail. Sure, there are always deviations from the plan, and rarely do things go exactly as we hope, but there is familiarity. And that is totally gone this year.
We did not race from March until August, and during that time we wondered if we could ever return to racing. So, while training and preparation never stopped, the traditional structure of the season was totally lost. And the unknown of whether the season would — or will — stop again due to COVID-19 is a constant undertone. How far will we get? What if COVID-19 gets into the peloton?
