Monday, May 5, 2023Centro Bortolotti Training Complex, ZingoniaRecovery Room9:18 AM
Recovery at Zingonia begins with starters from yesterday moving directly toward the ice baths while the cold water sits waiting in four stations along the far wall, and Musso lowers himself in first with the same controlled exhale that comes every time while his shoulders tense against the shock before settling.
Scalvini follows in the adjacent bath and his entry is quicker than Musso's because his body adapted to the routine weeks ago, and Tolói takes the third bath without hesitation while steam rises faintly off the surface where the cold meets the warmer air of the room.
Demien heads toward the bikes instead and mounts the nearest one before adjusting the seat height and setting the resistance at a low level, and his legs begin pedaling in smooth circles while his breathing stays controlled and his eyes track the wall ahead without focusing on anything specific.
