doing? Nothing.. wheels don't have true spokes any more, clothing is slipperier, positioning of rider is better, UCI requires expensive scrutinizing, there's no money to be made as all I've done was already public domain info (chokes, venturis, Gas laws, laminar vs turbulent, rider psychology, surface textures,etc.,etc.
Look, there are only a few riders capable of record level performance and from a commercial standpoint it would only be geewizz factors in it for the big manufacturers.
Until the UCI relents on drag reducing specific design the best for our lot is to line the inside surfaces of your forks and rear triangle with paint brush bristles to break up the rotating air on the wheels..or perhaps fenders with side skirts..I see a new category for anti-porn coming ;~)
