On the Velodrome Olympics 2021

Surspised no conversation after the start of the Track competition at the Olympics.

Firstly the failure (alleged) of the 3D printed base bars in the Mens Pursuit meaning the Australian's had to regroup and ride again. All those years training for the riders only to miss out on potential gold due to a mechanical.

Also the sneaky Dutch with TapeGate. Each rider has tape on their shins which is not illegal (yet - UCI will have the rules rewritten in a jiffy) to assist aerodynamics. When I went into the Monash Wind Tunnel back in 2008. At the end of my session I still had some tunnel time, so I had a couple of additional idea's I wanted to confirm. One of which aero benefit of covered legs which I tested quickly by pulling on a pair of Skin compression tights and saw a slight improvement in reducing drag. Will be marginal gains, but at that level...
