The Process with CINCH Cycling

In this episode we analyze the strategy and execution in the Men's Olympic Road Race.  While the outcome checks out, how the actual race played out is the biggest story.  We look at how the tactics presented some unique opportunities and how being the race favorite can make it more difficult to win.  We also take a closer look at what Remco did differently before his winning attack that helped him stick it as well as the tactics behind that led to such a big margin in the finish.  

In this episode we take an in depth look at one of the most exciting professional cycling races of the year, the women's Olympic Road Race.  Of course the big story is American Kristen Faulkner  and how she won as the under dog.  But in this podcast we take a close look into exactly what she did to win, what the rivals did, and what this outcome could do for Kristen's career moving forward.  

In this episode we take an inside look at the strategy and the outcome of Stage 19 in the Tour de France.  We break down how Visma played the race, how Tadej executed the stage win, and what to think of a resurgent Remco.  

In this episode Tour de France pro Tom Danielson dives into this year's big battle between Tadej and Jonas.  He breaks down each riders strategy so far and gives a stage by stage analysis into what has worked and what has not.  Tom answers the questions how the Giro can impact Tadej's performance in a positive manner as well as taking a closer look at why Tadej's aggressive racing style is working this time around.  He shares why Jonas and Visma is still a major threat and what to look for in the last week of the Tour.  If you are interested in TDF strategy this episode is for you. 

Everyone chases the win, but few truly have a process to win.  In this episode we share our 8-step process to help you win your races, goals, and workouts.  We give examples from the World Tour peloton of how each step was created and share stories of how each step works.  This is a podcast for everyone whether you are looking to win your first race or going after a goal that is daunting for you.  

In this episode of “The Process” we dive into the topic of durability and how it relates to the sport of cycling.  We share stories from the pro peloton on how training durability is critical to converting fitness to results as well as we uncover types of training we have found to be the most effective for this.  If you are interested in leveraging your training and fitness into better cycling performances, this podcast is a must for you.

We know consistency is a key component to success.  But if everyone knows this, why do so many people struggle staying consistent with their work and training? 

The answer is simple, a lack of motivation.  The reality is, even for top professionals, motivation comes and goes.  Luckily, there are some changes that can be made to make it easier to create and maintain motivation.  

In this week’s episode we work though the steps to lock on what is inside you that will give you durable and long lasting motivation.  

It's ok to try really hard and fail.  That is something we have been reminded of in the past week.

This week Tom updates us on his finger amputation surgery and his mindset before, during, and after. He takes us through the Black Line Clarity process he used to stay mentally strong despite this challenge and his honest and raw thoughts when seeing his new hand for the first time.

We also take you behind the scenes at this years' Unbound gravel where we have struggles and successes.  Listen to the incredible challenges and short comings we experienced as well as major high's like CINCH Coach and professional rider Holly Mathews's Career best performance!  

This includes sharing a special process we have, the BLC process to overcome her past weaknesses and rise to new heights in the most challenging race of the season.  Finally,  we conclude with the lessons that come from trying really hard and failing, something we all go through.

Things get personal on this week's episode of the Process Podcast; Tom opens up about his surprise cancer diagnosis and the subsequent decision to amputate the affected finger. He details the massive lifestyle changes he has made to give himself the best possible outcome. Tom and Kourtney reflect on a series of public failures and challenges they've faced over the years, what they've learned, and the different approach they are taking to crush this specific challenge. Tom also takes us through the Performance Chain process he developed to help athletes overcome challenges on and off the bike and how he plans to use it through his cancer journey. Hopefully, you can take some of what was detailed in the episode to push through and power through a challenge in your life.
