Do you include core work in your training routine? Comment and let us know.

Alberto Contador, Peter Sagan and the rest of the Tinkoff-Saxo team are certainly no different with team core workouts and post-ride stretches and a team strength and conditioning coach. Here we talk with Riccardo Colucci to see what it involves.
