Wind-tunnel testing :
breathtaking results!
What’s the point in doing wind-tunnel testing?
It’s not a passing fad but the need to win more aerodynamics, which leads
every year the best triathletes of the world to push the doors of a lab
equipped with these famous tunnels. And numbers speak for themselves...
We estimate that 90% of the developed power by a cyclist is used to fight
against the aerodynamic resistance. 10 watts gained is 1 seconds better by
kilometers at 45km/h! Do the calculations on 180km!
