If you read the first page of this thread, Renato Canova said that Kenenisa Bekele only drank water at the 40km mark.
"So, there is no reason to have a drink at 40 km, for having new energy, but Kenenisa used water only, because the psychological effect of feeling more hydrated can help the athlete to find new energies in his mind, and consequentely in his body."
So how does Renato Canova know that Bekele was handed water from Jos Hermans at 40k? Did Jos Hermans tell him or did Bekele tell him this?
And why would Jos Hermans go through so much trouble to get to the 40km water station to give Bekele an ounce of water?
Just wondering, that's all.
OK, you're an idiot and I've got nothing better to do, here are your answers:
Q1. Canova is involved with the coaching/management of KB so knows them both, KB and JH.
Q2. WGAF, he knows because...see Q1.
Q3. You answered with your Canova quote above "because the psychological effect of feeling more hydrated can help the athlete to find new energies in his mind, and consequentely in his body.".
