WHAT DOES STEPHEN BARRETT SAY?

STEPHEN BARRETT

Head coach for Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale (UCI WorldTour); Irish coach of Felix Gall and former Irish national track pursuit rider

Stephen Barrett coaches at the very top — head coach at a WorldTour team and the man behind Felix Gall's rise — and he's unusually willing to explain what actually transfers to amateurs. His most valuable training secrets, as he framed them on the podcast, aren't secret sessions; they're the discipline of individualising the plan, periodising the season properly, and protecting the easy riding that makes the hard work land. He's a credible bridge between WorldTour methodology and the rider trying to apply it on a normal life.
