I think the new Red Bull colors are fantastic. Looking really nice. Definitely added a bit of pop and i think Red Bull will be a good partner into the future.
Comment to the Ineos Grenadier question: Personally I really like the use of electric cars in the races. I can't recall if any team actually uses one, but at least the race marshalls do and that's only a good thing in my opinion as the riders going full gas up climbs don't have to unnecesarily breathe the gases coming out of ICE cars. Despite even the Grenadier surely complies with Euro 6c or whatever, it's still far from the EV cleanliness, which especially in these situations would be in my opinion very beneficial.
@@invisiblescout6335 Generally yes, but if there's big enough time gap, they go around the peloton to follow the group with their riders. That overtaking takes a few secs and at that time the ICE cars rev higher (I guess they are all equipped with automatic transmission nowadays, so they downshift when they sense the need for higer acceleration) and hence produce even more gasses than usual whilst passing it. And then while they are driving behind a group, I guess the peloton or the next group could still be breathing intoxicated air by the car a minute ahead of them. Again, I know modern ICE cars with all the required particular filters are very clean and this would be marginal gains at best, but it's 2024 and every bigger car brand has some EV in their range, so why don't go that one extra step, especially when it's for the riders' health and doesn't have any other drawbacks?
Finally different front and rear tires, the next thing the roadies learn from MTB. The Red Bull bikes look great but they could be even better with white bar tape.
I agree. The most important qualities for front and rear tires are rather different, even for a bike commuter. E.g. grip matters more on the front tire while the rear tire has a bigger effect on comfort.
In 2001, Continental introduced a set of differentiated road tires for front and rear called the Attack and Force, respectively. I used them for about ten years until they were phased out and wider tyres than their 22 and 24 mm became a thing. So that concept is all but new.
@@chrisridesbicycles As far as I remember they used two different compounds on both tyres, the middle section with the softer one was wider in the rear tyre, and they had distinctively different profiles.
The Ineos Grenadier team car is actually an Ineos Grenadier. Anyone who has about 70K can but one. Pretty sure you won’t see it on the roads during the race.
Tentatively celebrating the return of color and gloss finishes, I've become bored with satin/matte and bland on black! Also glad to see a few modular cockpits, as separate bar/stem combos are friendlier to mere mortals like me. Great coverage, thanks for being there, I do wish I could join you!😁
Ugh. Yes, all matte, all black bicycles (and vehicles for that matter) were boring to me about three minutes after seeing one for the first time. All I can think when I see a "matte" finish of any kind these days is "Nice primer-mobile, bro."
Yeah, apparently someone did a test and you can save watts on waxed chain, but I think after a few stages, it's gonna pick up so much junk it's not worth it imo.
That Ineos Grenadier station wagon is built by the company that runs the Grenadiers Cycling Team, OTOH what's with the snorkel air intake but no front-mounted winch??
They're not collecting anything. That would be explicitly illegal according to the UCI rulebook. Pretty big miss by gcn as that fact has been very prominent in the media because of it.
The Team Decathalon Van Rysel bikes with the new front tires have ramps and walls that will aid the braking performance. Looks like they took a lesson from MTB tread patterns.
Tread patterns do literally nothing for grip on the road. This has been explicitly confirmed by multiple tyre manufacturers. For example, the only reason contis initially had treads is becase tyres with treads sell better (according to conti themselves). Accidentally their tread pattern proved to have an aerodynamic advantage, so they design their current tyres with that in mind. The new swiss side/conti collaboration tyre was developed explicitly for aero performance and has been in the wild for a while now, initially used in triathlons.
This is what BikeRadar had to say about the prototype front tyres used by Team Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale: "...it's likely designed to work in a similar way to a golf ball, whereby the dimples trip the airflow from laminar to turbulent, thereby reducing drag. Aero socks and aero base layers employ similar thinking. The tyre is branded as ‘Continental Aero 111’ on the sidewall. The tyre also appears to be a partnership between the German tyre brand and Swiss Side, with ‘Aerodynamics by Swiss Side’ printed on the opposite sidewall. So now you know.
I’ve never seen a tire with tread like the Conti proto; that’s fascinating. There’s a braking and cornering edges deeper than we usually see on road tires. And aero gains seem implicate; vortex generators?
Tread patterns have no positive effect on road tyre grip, all they do is make it easier to sell. And yes the purpose of the swiss side conti tyre tread is purely aerodynamics
3:18 to 3:22 Did Ollie have a mini stroke or was he just a bit nervous and trying too hard? 😂 Von Reezell.... Ag2r, otherwise known as adgy duz er. Crease central.
Unless you can enhance a rider's power by radio signal like F1 did with its cars (before it was banned), that information is useless. And even if it was possible, it'd be considered doping. That data center is a mere marketing gimmick.
Help olly ! A video previewed with you but I can not find it ! It started with you in front of team buses saying how fancy they were and the bikes ! I thought I would watch it later but it didn’t save so It’s driving me mad looking for it ! Give me a clue or link to it please 🙏 by they way great work man ❤
Important correction, the Visma control car doesn't get data from the rider or his bike. Sending power, heart rate, location, ... during the race is not allowed. They say the biggest advantage is the stable connection and less chaos than in the team car.
Not really but I see where you are coming from. The golf ball has, er, dimples, whereas these are more like NACA ducts, without them being ducts in shape or form. If they work in conjunction with the spokes then I would be seriously impressed. If they are there just to psyche out the opposition, then I would be even more impressed. They could be red herring pattern, just to get the rivals dedicating themselves to something that isn't there, whilst delivering a perfectly good placebo for the team.
@@pdsnpsnldlqnop3330you're reading way too deep into this. Has nothing to do with spokes and even less with any mind games. It's designed to trip the air yes, but for the purpose of keeping it attached to the tyre and rim, as testing shows that often you get flow detachment on the tyre, before the air even reaches the rim. The pattern is designed by swiss side, who have long been proponents of the philosophy that tyres are absolutely crucial to aero performance
I literally have a similar version of that 3D printed aero bike com mount for my 1040, on my EXS bar. Not sure about its strength, but it looks fast, which is all that matters tbh 😂
Sooo Ritchie Porte couldn't a camper van at Giro a fair few years ago BUT Jumbo cam have this TILL whenever UCI decide against it 🙄 red bull bike is mint 👌🏼
the Visma Lease-A-Bike van is very interesting. But more interesting would be: how exactly is the team transmitting all the data from the cyclists? Presumably some sort of cell phone tech: I presume the riders aren't all carrying phones? If not cell phone tech then they'd have to be packing more meaty transmitters, which means big batteries. Is the info coming from the regular transponders all the Tour cyclists carry? Enquiring minds...
They aren't transmitting anything. It's against the uci rules for that data to be available to anyone but the rider themself. Race organiser/brodcast being a special case.
3:56 my guess would be that if that thread is there for aero then it would likely be there to make sure the air doesn't stick too much to the tire and wheel because sometimes it is better to keep the air separated from the object if there is some part behind that object that will cause alot of turbulent airflow and in this case it could be the legs or the frame.
@@invisiblescout6335 Explain how he’s wrong? Because his explanation, while being long winded, is exactly why even the front riders benefit from having a peloton behind them
@@KelvinSuddith because when there is someone in front of you they're the ones absorbing the drag for you, here there is no one else absorbing anything for you. He's basing what he says on incomplete knowledge. Disturbing airflow in front of an object can be beneficial, if that object has a very un-aerodynamic shape, legs being the perfect example. However the legs are so far out of plane with the tyre and wheel it's basically impossible for any of that wake to flow over the legs. Furthermore if an object does have a streamlined shape, like for example a wheel rim or a frame downtube you want the exact opposite, you want the airflow to be as clean as possible. That is because a streamlined shape is made to have the air flow over it as smoothly as possible, the more disturbed that flow is before hitting the object, the less impact the shape will have on controlling the airflow. To disturb flow you need to transfer energy from you to the air. The more you disturb it, the more energy you've had to use. If you've used energy to disturb the flow in front of an object, yes there is going to be less drag on that object, but have you acheived a net reduction in drag? Not neccessarily. If the object is of a good, streamlined shape, the answer is probably no.
I don't think that many teams are using a waxed chain setup on their road bikes because of the amount of pressure washing being done to clean the bikes after each stage, as well as the fact that they have a limitless supply of new chains at their disposal, so chain longevity is not a big concern. I think that it's a different case with some of the TT bikes, with Victor Campenaerts bike being a perfect example.
that ineos team car is a SUV called INEOS Grenadiers, an Luxury-overland SUV designed by INEOS the company. It is a bit more off-roady than a Land Rover, and Throttle House did a fantastic reveiew on it.
