      Scary and fascinating. We will see if it will give any advantages for the team. I can see that the teams will learn to use this better the coming years. And I will become standard. After all. They have lots of data now a days that takes some focus to make sense out of.
      With this. They can perhaps collect even more data with more sensors from the bikes. Don’t know what it would be. But. It’s possible.

    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.

      @jeskli11 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@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?

      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.

    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.

    • @invisiblescout6335
      @invisiblescout6335 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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.

      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.

      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 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.

      @@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.
