I was very close to making the same mistake last year, was busy fiddling with the strapping on my stuffed achilles just after leaving the RV but luckily saw the warning on the GPS after a couple of 100m, JohanDiv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koos Likkewaan 2 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Not sure why. Must be the Rapide link, but everytime I look at the leaderbord I have to find OA on the list. I do not know this man at all, but get a sense of relief every time I see he is making good progress. DJuice and Rowl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSCC Posted December 1, 2023 Share 8 hours ago, Shebeen said: I'll bite. So are these rider are going too slow to get benefit from tt bars?  (0 munga finishes, so pretend I'm a kindergarten on a balance bike from hyperama) I wrote that drafting does not help much for this specific event because of slow speeds, corrugated roads, extreme fatigue etc. Drafting has multiple variables. Aerobars don't and provide a small but constant benefit, even at slow speeds, for the duration of the event provided the rider uses them. The drag reduction on very high stack aerobars is marginal but the saddle pressure reduction and comfort resting position is substantial. JohanDiv, nathrix, Rowl and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Certain sections change from year to year, this section is the same as last year but not the year before I think. The changes are mostly due to farms changing hands / farmers changing their minds and denying access resulting in route changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
