So what is Wiggins' aerodynamic drag then

"Yes sir" :rolleyes:

Your numbers are so good so far I can't wait to see what you come up with!

So are you agreeing that your previous theory was rubbish yet?

A larger rider needs more watts for the same speed because they're less aero, not because they're heavier. "No need to try to debate" LOL :D

No it's not, you have no idea what you're doing.

If the hour record was anaerobic, maybe :rolleyes:

Writing messages like that with a multitude of words in capitals is really going to get you taken seriously ... :rolleyes:

On the track?

It is not always more aerodynamic, it depends on body shape (specifically shoulder and hip width). He did aerodynamic testing on a velodrome to check the position before the Olympics but unfortunately used a normal road helmet for the testing rather than a tailed aero helmet. This changes...

Worth mentioning that at the Olympics Jenning Huizenga had a hilarious aero position with double level aerobars which failed spectacularly. He rode a normal aero position for the World Champs.

Incorrect - they could, but any transmission wasn't allowed to be outsourced to a non ASO affiliate, as this would encroach on the ASO's ownership of coverage.

He did wind tunnel tests with a modified Trek track bike but his CdA was too high, even with an aero helmet so they scrapped it.

I'm agreeing with this bit. But pointing out that when people attempt to back calculate (not in the case of Nibali/Brajkovic) then the numbers are often out and it's relatively futile. On the listed weight issue, remember that people are quibbling over 0.1w/kg here!

Exactly - "listed" weight, not actual calculated mass. You don't know how much he weighed, how much his clothes weighed, how many gels he had in his pockets, how much fluid in his bottles, the inflation pressure of his tyres etc. All of these create uncertainties and errors in the...
