TT Tech: Ganna guns for glory in “supersonic” skinsuit, while Specialized opt for the paramilitary look… Oh wait, not that kind of balaclava, the British team’s kit supplier Bioracer has revealed that the world time trial champion will be wearing a “supersonic” TT suit at the Tour, featuring strategically placed seams and stemming from 300 hours of wind tunnel testing.
“Welding and taping the seams instead of classically stitching them, as well as strategically placing them, avoids even the smallest turbulence that could have a negative impact on its aerodynamics. In addition, a smooth fabric surface is applied on the back and sleeves, unlike what we often see in the peloton. The underlying reason, of course, cannot be disclosed.”
When I heard it came with a balaclava, I thought Specialized were finally going after the under-served paramilitary time trial market. But it's the wrong sort of balaclava.According to Robbie McEwen, EF’s Stefan Bissegger is also aiming to one-up his rivals by riding a frankly ridiculous 64-tooth big ring.
The stage win, Balsamo’s first at her home grand tour, is also enough to lift the 24-year-old into the maglia rosa after she finished third in the prologue, six seconds behind winner Kristen Faulkner.
They look pathetic. That is all I have to say.
