  • I'd guess if it did, all the track pursuit riders would be doing something similar?

    (I get your point that it's meaningless unless you test it, but most of them are massively off to one side which would help on a Velodrome I guess but not on the road?.??)

  • But the trackies aren't allowed to use fairings or trips. But if you could incorporate a radio so that it changes the airflow over your back...

    Presumably because if it sits right on your spine though, they move the pockets to the side.

    It does seem a bit odd that they never seem to show windtunnel pics of riders WITH radios. Fucking rookies...

  • this. manufacturers spend tons on R&D, windtunnels, clothing (Froome even had a seamstress come over to extra-tight-fit-and-dewrinkle his yellow aerosuit) helmets, develop integrated brakes and whatnot, then strap a brick to the back of their riders as soon as the race begins. #baffled
