gummibear Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Willie told me that climb is next level steep. Its not a Mickey Mouse uphill finish. Yeah....3.4km varying between 9.4-10.2%.This hill climb must be a first for a TT at World's.

Long Wheel Base Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Some of these okes can change bikes quickly. If its a clean change I reckon you will save a little. Some of the guys reckon a road bike is about 10 seconds faster up the climb.

This is how you do it :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Cd9lXcLrQ
gummibear Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Riders trying this climb on a TT bike with manual shifting is just crazy.Electronic shifting would make life so much easier [emoji15][emoji15]
Johan A Marais Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Bike changes should not be allowed, you finish on the bike you start with, klaar.... Surely that should be the aim. it should be about the rider, not the bike Magtag man

Surely that should be the aim. it should be about the rider, not the bike Magtag man Yeah but a TT course also shouldn't have a 3.4km climb at the end. This is more like a hillclimb TT
gummibear Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Would these guys not have been better off on a aero frame road bike with TT bars and disc wheel. Looks like it'll come down to that hill for the winner today.This course suits Froomy very well. Don't blame Tony for all the complaining about this course.
Spoke101 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 looks like Willie is fading a bit, hope he's been keeping some powder dry for that climb.

gummibear Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 He's on a hybrid mix Aero road,TT bars and Lightweight disc[emoji106]
