Coping with contact isn't about aggression, it's about being able to deal safely with a normal race situation.
Ideally, there would be no contact in road racing. But the fact is that some contact is inevitable. If you're going into a climb, a tight corner or in the final few kilometres of a race, the bunch will be tightly packed and everyone will want to be at the front. By knowing how to deal with the odd bump, you'll stay upright and won't cause any havoc in the bunch.
Check out Daniel Lloyd's pro tips in this video.

Have we finally found the first carbon fibre monocoque UCI-banned superbike which can topple the time of a modern road bike? The Hotta has Tour de France Prologue Victories and Olympic Medals to its name and we've got not just one, but two of these very special machines to pit against a brand-new Canyon Aeroad. But there's a twist, one of the Hotta's is kitted out in full retro-guise, but the other, is a modern take, assembled with cutting-edge components to blend the two worlds into one. Could this create the ultimate mix of modern efficiency with old-school aerodynamic madness? There's only one way to find out!
Are you looking to improve your performance, mobility and endurance on the bike? Whilst we all love to be in the saddle, it's also important to do some work off the bike in the gym as well.
