It's Alex Dowsett here, back with another column for Cyclingnews. In my first entry, I told you about winter training camps and the logic behind doing them (or not), but today I wanted to rewind a little bit.
Before I dive into discussing the other topics I’m hoping to write about this season, I thought I’d bring you into the frame on what happens when an athlete retires and why I now understand the phrase 'an athlete dies twice.'
