Training, coaching and podcasting with Mikael Eriksson and Kolie Moore | EP#359
That Triathlon Show
Is the Hour Fair Play?
Fabian Consolara wanted to do the hour Merck's style with like box section rims on drop bars. The rules have changed so much that aerodynamics can play a big part, he says. "I cannot imagine like Dan Bigham's hour, he did more than like 380 watts or something like that"
