Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

· exercises to enable riders to work on this area of fitness.
· off-bike preparation
· ride fuelling through a nutritionally focused diet
· recovery strategies
· injury prevention as well as advice on avoiding overtraining.
· dealing with injuries and adapting your training plan accordingly
· specifically designed programmes to smash the sprints and outlast the others in a test of endurance.
