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 It makes a huge difference. 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.

I think there is 10 seconds between the best, but between the best and the average is probably 45 seconds. Sid the Sloth 1

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
Jewbacca Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I reckon they should all ride the ITT in the same IOC issue speedo on the same model bike. BOOM! Edited July 28, 2021 by Jewbacca TheoG, TNT1, Pure Savage and 1 other 2 1 1

Just stress the fact again that we as a nation is unprofessional when it come to the Olympics. Its up to the pure brilliance of the individual to get a medal, our teams are very unlikely to succeed simply because they depend a lot on the support team which seem to be MIA.

Like our entire nation, if you want anything, has to be private, health care - private, airline - private, schooling - private.
