Training4cyclists.com is a Danish website published by Dr. Jesper Therkildsen, a medical doctor with a special interest in cycling. Dr. Therkildsen's website www.Training4Cyclists.com is dedicated to publishing information "about physiology [and to provide knowledge] on the newest research results" on training in cycling.

In the interview, Dirk discusses the level of power meter adoption by pro cyclists and how many are starting to realize the advantage they gain through "spotting the historical trends and how manipulating future training to take advantage of those trends is of huge benefit to those who take the time".
