Any idea what time difference the suit really makes ? Know its massive in swimming just curious if there is such a big difference in TT
Pure Savage Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Not sure if its been discussed, see on instagram, the Cycling SA appointed mechanic is MIA for the track cyclists. SA getting help from other nations mechanics. Do they not get their trips paid for etc?
FootballingCyclist Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 So word from inside the camp is there has been a massive meeting because apparently contract were signed by all and in these contracts it stated something about social media posts etc, So most likely has been removed.

Know its massive in swimming just curious if there is such a big difference in TT CSA fined one of our riders in the last olympics for making his own skinsuit. it's just silly that they can't get their heads around the way time trialing technology works these days.

This is a proper sport not like these other piffling things at the olympics. Participation in cycling at the olympics is based on the number of UCI points a country has. You get UCI points from all the UCI sanctioned races in the calendar. 100Tours 1

Over a course like today's, the latest skinsuit technology is probably worth around 30 seconds. Sid the Sloth 1

When I watch videos about all the tech that goes into TT skinsuits, The stitching, the materials, the panels etc etc I can then understand why a rider would prefer to wear his own.

See the Track manager is posting the videos and Jean is just re posting them, as is a lot of other people.

We should do a comparison between those, and me with clip on tri-bars from 1993 and a skinsuit even older than that. Pure Savage 1
