But the other part is that those relationships just don't last very long in cycling anymore.

Like one of the studies I saw, I believe it came out of the training peaks folks, but they're like an average coach athlete relationship is six months, which you're looking so specifically for some wattage markers that go up in that six months that you've totally missed what coaching is yeah it's showtime everybody showtime you've been living in a dream world neo this is the world as it exists today.
