@ClaudeSac It has. Experiments has been made in both wind tunnel and on track. For example: On track, Rasmus Quaade, former Danish ITT champion and 6th at world ITT championship, rode for one hour without shaving his legs. Then he shaved them, and the next day he rode again and reached the same point 3 minutes earlier. That's a *massive* improvement. He then shaved his very big bushy beard, rode again, and there was no difference. So shaving legs helps, shaving beard is irrelevant. I know the sample size of that particular experiment isn't big, but coupled with wind tunnel tests that saw drag reduced by 7% it is quite conclusive, that shaving your legs is more aerodynamic, no? I will say though, that if you, yourself are in the field of aerodynamic research, or some such, I will concede. I have a Masters degree in Sports Science, and while I'm certain that these experiments are true, I haven't sat down and read through paper after paper on the subject 😅
Alan's facial expressions as stephen talks at him in french had me gone
As if he had constipation 😂😂
Alan Davies looking like Frank Spencer in the beret.
Hugh Dennis has Mona Lisa eyes.
It has since been discovered that there is quite a large aerodynamic advantage in shaving your legs in cycling.
No, it has not.

I wonder why they never did an Ireland episode of QI prob because in terms of History it would show the Brits in a bad light.
Жаль перевода нет. Я только французскую часть понимал)
Спасибо ВАМ за перевод!
@@EmKonstantin Пожалуйста :) Приятно, что столько лет, а моим переводом пользуются все еще.
Alan Davies is bored. bored, bored and Stephen Fry is annoyed but not sure what to do about it.
Wow, you must be psychic. Or an idiot. Or both.
I hate both france and japan. but I will give points to France in terms of design!
