Vicky Pendletons bars... (spoiler!)

[stoatsngroats]

The girl who won the 500m sprint had drop bars, whereas Vicky, and others had aero bars(?).

Surely, riding on drop bars the whole way round means power all the time, whereas the change done on the aero bars MUST mean a drop off of power - am I right in this thought...?

I'm watching too. They only use the aero bars for 250m anyway, but the winner had enormous legs almost of Hoy proportions - her 1st lap was rapid...

I didn't get as far as the bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i noticed that awang also uses fairly standard old school drops. must be easier to wheelie with…

i guess you were talking about simona krupakeite (sp?), not really my cup of tea off the bike…
