At what speed/grade is it no longer worth it to have teammates to draft off of? I know they can also serve to run down attacks, but I am wondering how many watts they can save you on slow grinding climbs.

serious gaylord posted:I always remember the Ventoux stage of the tour last year where it was announced during the race that they'd be checking bikes at the end of it. Lots of mysterious issues and bike changes needed before the end. Yeah and the commentators willfully try to reason some of the changes out. Prob just baby stuff like underweight, though.

I'm morbidly afraid the moorings on those giant Trek banners are gonna come loose and wipe Jens out. At the halfway point, his pace is slowing as anyone'd expect. He should be able to hold on for at least a few hundred meter break of the record. e: what is the 17.xxx number in the lower left (and that the trackside coach is showing Jens)? kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Sep 18, 2014 |

I hadn't seen Jensie's splits til now, and man does he live up to the "SHUT UP LEG" reputation. No other hour record has had that kind of acceleration in the back half.

Pocket posted:Also the hour record is really boring without a serious TTer attempting it. The fact that Bobridge failed it instead of eeking one over Brandle makes it more interesting than less, in that it builds up the aura of the modern record a tiny bit more while acknowledging people want to go after it.
