Whuch is fine. But I am not sure how those small gains really make a huge difference on a downhill MTB
The "aggregation of marginal gains" is a concept championed by Sir Dave Brailsford, who led the British cycling team to dominance, including winning 16 gold medals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. This theory focuses on making small, incremental improvements in many areas, believing that even 1% improvements in various aspects can collectively lead to significant overall performance gains.
And that marginal gains may have included performance enhancing substances in the case of the Sky team. Even I can cycle quicker with salbutamol in my lungs
