  1. Ask Ben why he constantly sandbags on Zwift. Maybe you could run a feature on sandbagging and invite Ben to participate. Ask him why he likes to race below his cat and get DQ from every race. Maybe point out to him how despised sandbaggers are?

  2. Some years ago on a public ride up a alp stage on the tour de France, some premiership footballers tried it and the locals were out riding them, of all shapes and sizes. But then get a pro climbing cyclist to do the intervals a footballer does then the ball players reactions are cat like and uber fast.
    Why don't we see footballers play day after day like big tour riders?

  3. Firstly, ben foster is 38, the average for a footballer is 26. Secondly, he's a goalkeeper, he stands still for most of the match. If you want to test this properly, test against an outfield player (midfielder would be best, or wing backs) in their mid-twenties.
