Despite crashing in the stage 1 sprint and enduring a high-profile spat with Australian Michael Matthews, Sheffield showed his mettle, reinforcing his World Tour potential.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sheffield is yet to ride in a Grand Tour but even after handling the dramas of the WorldTour opener like a seasoned tour veteran, he knows it\u2019ll be no joy ride.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cGrand Tours are the pinnacle of endurance sports, with it being 21 days with just two rest days. I think the longest race I\u2019ve done is seven or eight days, so GTs are substantially longer and harder than any race I\u2019ve ever done. It\u2019s definitely a big goal of mine to do this season and something that I really look forward to doing, hopefully.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Make no mistake though, Sheffield is built for professional cycling. Endurance athletes are a different breed, and to excel at a world class level takes a special kind of mental and physical fortitude. It also helps if you love what you do.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI love endurance more than I like a sprint because there\u2019s a bit more of a process, a bit more suffering. I think endurance athletes are quite a bit different to more skill-based athletes. You definitely have to be quite disciplined, being self-driven is super important because a lot of times we have to be out training by ourselves so you definitely have to be comfortable, you have to like that. You have to be willing to suffer.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">THAT TIME AT PARIS-ROUBAIX<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There\u2019s been a few times in training where I\u2019ve just hit the wall and I felt like I had to push that extra bit to just get home. In a race, Paris\u2013Roubaix was one that was just extra hard because of the terrain, the cobblestones, and everyone\u2019s trying just to finish the race to say they\u2019ve done Roubaix and they\u2019ve made it to the velodrome. You see guys just falling down one by one and it\u2019s really a race of last man standing. That\u2019s definitely one of my darkest or hardest days on the bike so far.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In recent years science has become as much a part of professional cycling as the peloton. Amongst other aspects of the sport, nutrition is informed by it to optimise performance day in and day out. Younger athletes like Sheffield accept it as part and parcel of cycling and invest as much time in fuelling as they do in the saddle.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWithout proper nutrition I think it\u2019s impossible to even finish any kind of endurance sport or event. I would say everyone knows that feeling of bonking and I\u2019ve definitely made a lot of mistakes in my short career. I used to think a three-hour ride was so long, but the more accustomed I got to it with proper fuelling it helped me develop and push through and progress as an athlete through these races.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">HOW HE RECOVERS AFTER A LONG DAY ON THE BIKE<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Science also informs optimum recovery, which is something many athletes have to learn to place an emphasis on, particularly as they age. As we now know, recovery is a vitally important process with many elements to it and the quality of an individual\u2019s recovery directly determines how they perform the next day.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI like to take the time to spin the legs down slowly, and it\u2019s more about feeling better the next day than cooling down for that day. That\u2019s something this team takes quite seriously, the preparation day after day. You have to be looking at not just that day but the next day, trying to recover and fuel correctly because you may be able to finish that day but you\u2019re trying to get the most of yourself the next day as well.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By his own admission, Sheffield has a lot to learn. The younger the athlete, the steeper the learning curve. But Sheffield is intelligent, mature, talented and disciplined. Plus, he\u2019s surrounded by the likes of Geraint Thomas, Filippo Ganna, Dylan Van Baarle and Luke Rowe to learn from, to name a few.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI\u2019m still in an early phase in my career where I\u2019d like to continue developing as a rider and learning from my teammates and contributing to the team success. But I\u2019d really like to win time trial worlds and continue pushing and developing my ability. I came close this season with winning a stage race.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Make a note of his name. Magnus Sheffield. He\u2019s one of the most exciting prospects on the Grenadiers\u2019 roster. And after narrowly missing out on a podium in Australia, he\u2019s keen to capitalise on his momentum going into the spring classics.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">MAGNUS SHEFFIELD\u2019S POST-RACE RECOVERY<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Usually, we finish the race and the carrier (team car) we see directly and they hand us a water or soda, so usually we take that right on the finish line seconds after crossing.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Then the recovery process starts, so it\u2019s about optimising that time, especially as we have a few different phases.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In phase one we like to think about hydrating properly, then it\u2019s trying to get adequate carbs and protein.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After that we\u2019re off the [turbo] bike, and after a short spin down we\u2019re on the bus and we\u2019ll have some carbs, maybe something a bit more complex, so either chicken or pasta or fish \u2013 whatever the chefs have cooked up for us.
