Wouldn't Alpecin's German engineering that according to Kittel causes big hair be not very beneficial due to weight gains at the scalp from the hair alone and not to mention the moisture retaining abilities not allowing for efficient cooling down and even more weight thus causing torsional flex?
Hi, welcome to the forum. Er, its a bit of a strangefirst post though
Thank you, well it's just a thing I've always been wondering about.
Everyone involved in cycling tends to be incredibly competitive by nature and so will naturally explore every single opportunity for making them as fast as possible. The concerns were based around the health of the drivers, who were having to become as lean as they could, yet still be fit and capable of withstanding the extreme demands of driving under the punishing conditions that events like the Tour de france can throw up.
The physical nature of the sport, combined with France’s Medeterian climate, can mean that cyclist lose up to 3kg in body weight through perspiration alone. If a driver already had to shed weight to become as light as possible, this could potentially cause a dangerous situation. So why aren't they shedding weight from places that makes sense?
Such as the hair, when examining this reminds me to be aware of when evidence supports the advice, and when I operate based on unexamined beliefs, but more weight is bad, more heat is bad and hair both causes these two problems.
Why isn't everyone bald?
