| Bruno Risi de Zwitserse Zesdaagsekoning "When I train at home sometimes I end up spending three hours on the rollers. To ride away your boredom in front of the television. Or in the kitchen, in the company of others. "Especially when the weather is not so nice I don't feel much like riding outside. For trackies like me the rollers are the perfect tool." |
Danny Stam winner of numerous Six-day events "Riding in the Antares is a relatively easy way to up your track pace and make your muscles more supple. This makes for completely natural movements. You keep pedalling from the hips, just as you would on the road or the track. On a fixed bike it just isn't the same really." |

| Peter Schep points race world champion 2006 "Rollers play a crucial role in the preparation of races. "And not just because you are warming up on them, you can also withdraw yourself from the world when you ride the rollers, you think of the race you're about to enter in and rethink your strategy. Your concentration is at its highest level, you are only thinking of your legs, your bike and yourself. This is the moment that everything comes together." |
Piet de Wit team manager "For the riders, the rollers are perfect to loosen up the legs and make the muscles supple in between races, to get ready for the next event. They can train their power on the regular Tacx ergotrainers. Rollers are easy to move about, which is a huge advantage. Velodromes are usually cramped places. In between the races the riders will try and find a spot with more air, like in the corridors or outside." |
