Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

What I don't get is how you think sitting up = more stable riding position. I was shocked and stunned that someone would even suggest sitting up in a TT. Are you not comfortable riding the drops or something?

My answer anyway is YES, stay in the drops. Lower centre of gravity, better grip, more aero. Anyone riding a TT on the tops has given up.

Perfectly fine riding in the drops and getting around the roundabout, I just didn't know if I was pissing away time or not.

Actually I have to sit up at one point, just before I stand up to get up a sharp incline to another roundabout. You could say I've given up at that point but sitting down on 82 gear inch just hemmorages time that I'm not prepared to lose.
