Sure, but people have been known to get upset, create fake accounts, and start fights about definitions, etc when I start using math, so I try to avoid it now. Thanks a lot for the info. I'll get one of my friend specialized in physics to dum it down for me. Appreciated.
What do cyclists think they spend all their energy on? You really have nothing to worry about for these folks, in the context of this 90hours event. Talking about 120000 calories roughly.
They just behave like birds. But you knew that already I believe. When they're grouped, they work together, all the time. Their solution this air drag resistance issue just work together like birds do. And yes, that makes the sport dangerous. Maybe little more trivial that you'd think but still very dangerous.
Yet, the highest number of deaths during triathlon events occur in the water.
As for the importance of cutting drag in a time trial context, well they go in wind tunnel for this sort of analysis. Plus they use power data (once again) to optimize their Cda. So they're aware. Q, these teams' budget (pro teams that is) is far over that of swim teams.
Problem, like I said, is that when a rider wants to break away from the pack, he doesn't have the equipment to ride aero. And I find that the pure road bike aren't well adapted for these situations, with a handle bar that is way to wide, making riding in the drops not as aero that one would wish.
