Irish cyclist Nicolas Roche in Tai Chi kit in China

When you watch top bike riders closely over the years you get to see them in all kinds of situations; winning, losing, under pressure and on top.

But we've never quite seen Nicolas Roche like this before. The Irish rider, who recently finished 3rd overall at the Tour of Guangxi, is still in China.

He's part of a BMC Racing line-up taking in some post-season criteriums in the Far East run by ASO, which owns the Tour de France.
