Thanks Johnny. Very interesting. If you find anymore of these links, please put on the forum.
No need to waste money on a wind tunnel it seems, just use a powermeter and the road or ideally a velodrome.
Or even easier idea, copy what the top pro cycling teams like CSC, Discovery and British cycling are doing, as I believe they all do lots of testing on Aerodynamics.
Position-wise everybody is different so I reckon it is a good idea to test this yourself, rather than just try to set up like David Zabriskie!

Yes I think you are right Andy, the camel back is supposed to be the most aero drinking system. The only issue is in hot races; you lose a lot of heat from your back and so the camel back can impair this a little.
But in cooler races the camel back is probably perfect, although you will have to go to normal bottles once the camel back is empty.

I'd like to see any data you can find Johnny. I think US Postal with Armstrong tried to have an internal drinking system on the Trek TT bike, but I think it was banned by UCI. Not sure on this, if anyone can confirm?
I was thinking maybe what would be good is, aero shaped down tube and seat tube mounted bottles with a tube system like the Camel back!!?? Maybe something for someone to come up with there!

You have posted, Very important guidelines for any cyclist. I am afraid as a group of triathletes, many of these rules are fouled everyday, I myself have even let myself slip and may have ignored some of these important guidelines  I will try to be better in future and encourage all Team TBB athletes to follow the above rules too. Thank you Johnny for the reminder

Probably the most common question I get asked by athletes at races (some people think I have some knowledge in this area  ) is, what is your race day nutrition? Ok so fellow professional athletes, can you give us your race day nutrition, for Ironman in particular? Mine is simple, water and gatorade, and a gel or 2 an hour throught the race.

Hi Andy,
You will definately get further forward on this saddle than the Fizik, I think the rails are longer, but also the the saddle is designed for you to sit at the front of it, Bella is maybe 2-3cm further forward on this saddle than on her old Selle Italia. It is worth being able to try it first as it is very different to a "normal saddle".
Cheers Stephen
