Jim Cotton<\/a>
\n\"Jim<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a UK-based editor and reporter focusing on road racing, training, and nutrition.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve developed a bank of experience working on the ground at all three grand tours, Paris-Roubaix, Tour of Flanders, Strade Bianche, road worlds, and many more.<\/p>\n

I have my own \u2018Behind the Ride<\/a>\u2018 series of features that digs into how riders in the pro peloton have become the best in the world. It\u2019s a wide-ranging column that\u2019s covered diet, training, recovery, altitude camps, and a lot more.<\/p>\n

And when I\u2019m not working?<\/p>\n

After a few decades of mostly dismal results, I\u2019ve hung up the wheels on my bike racing career. Instead, now, I\u2019m training for trail running races \u2026 but don\u2019t hold that against me.<\/p>\n
