    Dylan, tape a CO2 or similar under your stem behind the camera. Tape gels vertically behind your seat post to turn that round disaster into an aero post. Make sure to always be carrying something heavy in your rear jersey pockets to pull the front of it back and tighter. That's another 5 -10 watts easy. And if you can get the aero helmet Lachlan used? holy crap. I've made a aerofoil cargo box wedge behind the seatpost with cereal box cardboard and duct tape and it works great to hold a C02 and tire plugs. As long as it's storage, it's not just a fairing and simply smart instead of cheating.

    • @myroccbox8877
      @myroccbox8877 2 месяца назад +3

      All are refrigerated until placed on bike or body. The bladder in back has ice in it. Lowering core body temp via chilled on body liquids and also pouring water from bottles on his head and body were all part of Dylan’s temperature management plan. If I recall correctly I believe in his other post-race video he said when leaving aid station he was carrying 7l but only about 3l would be for hydration…the rest for pouring on his body. He anticipates 20 watts plus are gained by managing body temp in high heat of the later ride. All excess gets dumped prior to final miles and sprint.
