He has entered and won a lot of road races! He prettymuch sets the
standard for a career accross several cycling disciplines over several
decades. Pretty impressive!
While he can be inspirational to lots of folks he is not simply a
product of training. He has lots of natural talent as well.

advice ever given is "choose your parents wisely".

that it probably started off with a nice meal and possibly a back rub.
