The article explores the evolution of cycling aerodynamics from 2015 to the present, highlighting how marginal gains have become essential in competitive and grassroots cycling. It discusses the ongoing testing conducted by Cyclingnews through their 'CN Labs' series, focusing on cycling components such as helmets, clothing, and particularly bottle aerodynamics. Analyzing factors like the number of bottles, their placement, and size, the article aims to answer prevalent questions about optimizing performance while balancing cooling strategies with aerodynamics.
The whole marginal gains philosophy introduced by Team Sky is crucial for cyclists, as even small improvements in aerodynamics can lead to significant speed advantages.
Wind tunnel testing of cycling components has revealed that the use of aero bottles can indeed provide benefits, especially when considering optimal bottle placement and capacity.
