I think ultimately it's kind of stupid but you do get some insight with a personal touch that you wouldn't before.

I agree, but I think some of them either don't know that anyone can see what the write, or they don't care...

If i'm Decoster right now and see that, i'm not pumped...

Guess the problem most would have is that he is a pro athlete and should be taking care of his body. Smoking seems counterintuitive to an endurance athlete.

I thought we were all playing, even Stroupy45. Caffeine = not good for arm pump.

"Why pros shouldn't twitter..."


Because it will be posted on a message board, quickly get misinterpreted, then turned into questioning the rider's public image.


He wakes up with some coffee and nicotine. When the caffeine and nicotine wear off, you crash.

That's probably a pretty typical start to the day for most of you.

I would like to think a company is paying you a great deal of money to do a job. The ability to perform at your job is directly correalated with your physical condition. Your physical condition is directly correalated with what you put in it. Nicotine depresses the nervous system. Smoke or smokeless it is still not good.

You get arm pump from riding tense, not from drinking coffee and/or taking dip.

It certainly isn't the only reason but it most certainly increases the chances. Caffeine is a diuretic and can dehydrate you. Losing even small amounts of water from the body will impair performance and dehydration causes fatigue, which causes or worsens arm pump. Basic stuff. Nutrition 101.

Caffeine enhances performance in endurance sports because it encourages your body to burn fat instead of glycogen. That's why marathoners are coffee freaks. It is a mild diuretic but dehydration isn't normally a problem for athletes that hydrate properly. It certainly doesn't cause arm pump. Some people have stomach cramp issues with it, but most don't.

Joke or Not... Anyone thinking it's trivial isn't looking at it from Rockstar's, Decoster's, Suzuki's or Makita's point of view...

That's all I'm saying...

Who cares. Some guy cracking a joke on twitter isn't a big deal.
