So much has changed in this sport since I’ve last written about it. Socks have gone haywire, sleeve and bib lengths are off the charts, crank lengths are shrinking, speeds are off the charts. But nothing has changed more than the time trial helmets we’re finding ourselves forced to look at.
I understand the advances being made, and I understand that mime is money and that every fractional advantage adds up.
I honestly don’t even want to watch time trials anymore. If I was a team sponsored by Giro, I would go find another team; I would be faster following Fournel’s Theorem than I would riding in that Merckx-awful thing.
By the time the form has followed the function to the point that we’ve gone right back up our own asses, I feel like we’ve strayed a bit too far from the path. And come on, not all teams are going this ugly and they’re still hauling pretty good.
Nice to be back in some capacity, folks. No promises on how this develops.
VLVV.
