About two weeks ago I finaly got to travel to Boulder Center for Sports Medicine and Dr.Andrew Pruitt for a Bike-Fit. I did meet Andrew three years ago at a press launch in Madrid for Specialized, but without all his equipment It was hard for him to do a proper Bike-Fit on me. So I guess It was about time I finally booked my ticket to Boulder - which by the way is a lovely town in Colorado.

I`ve been thinking about this meeting with Andy for years now and after I finished 2nd in the Worlds 13 sec behind 1st I decided It was about time to see if there was something I could change on the bike to make me those seconds faster ...

I`ve heard so many good things about Andy from other Pro-riders who have been in Boulder and his office. He knows about all the issues a rider can meet sitting on a bike for hours and he is the best in the world when it comes to issues like back pain and sitting-problems.

I don`t really have that much back pain but I do in some periods have sitting-problems.

My reason for the visit was mainly to see if there was something to do on my position on the bike, pedal-stroke and if my cleats on the shoes was optimal.

First I did a X-ray to see If there was any length difference on my legs and how my back looks like. After this I did a 3D Bike-Fit riding on my own bike on a roller. Looking at my self pedaling on the computer was a bit weird but very interesting. Then Andy made a few changes and I did a 3D Bike-Fit one more time. After this Andy could compare both results and see my difference before/after.

I was very surprised to see how small changes he did and that I already was on a good position on my bike, I kind of expected a lot of changes but nothing is better than small changes☺

I`m happy I did the trip to Boulder and got he answer I needed to know, my power goes where it should go: in the pedal! I totally share the same experience like other riders, Andy Pruitt knows what he is doing and Is the best on this kind of work as well.

Bye for now
