ERIC CHRABOT

Dates Contracted:
November 2007 – present; Setting New Goals

Starting Point:
capable Category A Collegiate rider for Virginia Tech

Project Description:
Skills, Fitness and Results in preparation for Johan Bruyneel Cycling Academy, Summer 2008

Ending Point/Work in Progress:
Rather than go to Europe, Eric was offered the opportunity to race with PA Lightning participating in the Tour of PA and other significant North American events. We succeeded in significantly improving his fitness to be a strong team supporter for his collegiate team which dominated their conference, as well as his own podium results. And we succeeded in preparing him for high level espoir racing. He was the only member of his team to finish all stages of Tour of PA bettering his placement each day.

My Most Pleased Moment:
Gaining his trust for consistent top-end interval work; incredible scrappiness shown in a race the day after a disappointing race experience.

Special Features:

Continual discussions regarding team/country opportunities to choose

Put on a continuum of climbing fitness from foundation to fitness to uphill speed

Stellar climbing ability broke through at James Madison Hill Climb and West Virginia University road race

Steamrolls his peers as far as feisty momentum that doesn’t quit

Head for strategy given insight and direction
aaaaaaaaaaaaiii
