The National 10, we learn about who my dad supports and why, whether I manage to win & how much I was beaten by. And that a wild new colour way was worth 20watts
We chatted to;
Alex Pritchard
Joe Laverick
Ollie Peckover

Selfishly this is such a great post, my sons 8 and plays football at Cramlington Town, (hope you liked the new club house) and just he's also joined a local cycling club, (not sure he's going to like cyclo-cross season though). But being able to watch this and relate this to something on his door step will be great. Thanks again

There has been a lot of Internet/RU-vid discussions regarding the use of various fairings (arms, legs) and chest-stuffing in the British TT race....it would be great to hear your thoughts on the subject? Should the British TT races institute more regulations regarding these types of external speed enhancements?

Noticed the bumps aka "turbulators" along the side of your skinsuit. Will be interesting to see if this becomes a new trend for non UCI skinsuits. Have seen them on a few tri suits as well. Alex, does the nopinz hypersonic suit have them on as standard or did you ask for them? Thanks 👍

You would have got second if it wasn’t for the ridiculous fairings the guy in front of you was using. Personally, I think CT need to sort the rules out on body fairings. It’s getting silly. GCN made some good points about it.

Hi Alex this is not related to the vid but I'd be mighty interested. In your 1h WC ride you used a special saddle which you called "Simmons Racing" but I can't find a mention of it. Is this an older model or something made custom to you? I also have a slightly deeper position and would like to have a little grippier saddle and the thing you showed in your other video might be it.

dad here, life long Liverpool fan, one of my lads came up to me a few months ago, and said "Dad, I think I'm a Tottenham fan" I like to let them make their own way, but there was a definite sucking in of the teeth moment, so I deffo empathise with your dad in this 😂

Do you have the rear water bottles on the bike because they actively improve aerodynamics? Surely no one is grabbing them over a 10 mile TT?

how does the scott compare to other TT bikes if you said it was a masterpiece? might be an interesting video if you go indepth on the reasons
@AlexDowsettOfficial
@AlexDowsettOfficial Год назад
The Scott is a great bike, and an engineering masterpiece, little things like the ability to change the rear axle fore/aft position to accomodate different tyre sizes, the integrated storage and fluid compartments etc. Unsurprisingly a touch heavy but I'm ok with that for UK tt'ing. I don't have any direct aero comparisons (testing bikes with people in is very difficult to do as positionally the positions need to be perfect) but my times around the Maldon 10 stack up really well compared with historical performances so I'd say it's definitely comparable to the Shiv and Hanzo but tough to pinpoint which is 'better.' per se.

9:25 Something I noticed here is that you are not wearing your base layer here, but the pattern on the sleeves still seems similar to that which can be found on the base layer. Is this an updated version of the hypersonic suit which works without the base layer? And since I am being overly observant here, the pattern on the sleeves matches the sleeves on Pogacar's suit that he used to win Lombardia (and Movistar used in the vuelta, and UAE used in the tour). New suit coming? 😜 Apologies for the slightly nitpicky comment 😅
@AlexDowsettOfficial
@AlexDowsettOfficial 11 месяцев назад
Not at all, great observation! We’re playing with multiple iterations of the suit, working out what works best at what speeds and then what happens after washes as well. It could well be the same sleeves at Pog has, they’re testing fast!

It's because the Tempor's visor is pathetically small and doesn't shield the eyes properly for some when the helmet is tilted back on the head for aerodynamics. Source: Owner of a Tempor

Have you something down your front al la John Merrick the elephant man? I get aero gains over weight. I watched Obree and Boardman and Le Mond confound Fignon. Surely at some point all this stuff effects output. Looks uncomfortable. Just saying. The obvious other question is are they other people tested ever? Easy to buy all wiggins juice online these days.

Wasn't the hjc Israel team sponsored helmet you were shilling for in your failed hour record superior to the poc you're using now?
@AlexDowsettOfficial
@AlexDowsettOfficial Год назад
Bit harsh there with the tone of your comment. But seeing as I'm being accused of shilling nowadays on here (a term I hadnt even heard of until now) I'll give you the full explanation. If you'd watched closely in my 'failed' hour record testing videos you'd have seen the POC in it's perfect position with the tail flat to my back was fractionally faster than the HJC, but the HJC was fastest when head movement was involved. The CTT rather than UCI allows for more relaxed rules so I affix a magnet to the tail of the POC and under my skin suit to keep the tail down. Also, all of my HJC's are Israel branded as well so I'd rather use something plain and fast for now. One for you now. Maybe next time, be a bit nicer with your comments and ask what is a legitimate question in a better way instead of going in like a train with such animosity. Alex
