 Yeah Tom this sport is so goddamned easy and simple that you either can do it
on instinct and talent, or you just suck. Learning to train better, having a
coach to guide you, getting nutrition information, and gaining experience are
all totally useless. Hell, nobody ever gets faster. 
 You are unfortunately not a one of a kind in this sport though.
 Bill's point is pretty clear, you take younger people with some skills, teach
them how to be better racers and hell they might get better, what a friggin'
surprise rather than taking 35 year olds who are not going to be able to make
better use of the new insights, and information they are getting than young
riders who are still maturing physically. I'm not saying that this won't make
older riders better, but their bodies aren't getting stronger at the rate a
young rider's is.
