01 KEEP IT SLICK
A recent visit to Vorteq Sports in Silverstone highlighted the importance of form-fitting clothing on performance. (Vorteq Sports is an aerodynamic company who focus on human performance and apparel. In the past, they’ve worked with Lucy CharlesBarclay and Reece Barclay.) “A significant amount of watts can be lost by things like flapping jackets,” applied sports scientist Jamie Pringle told us. So, ensure your tri-suit flows nicely around the contours of your body. Vorteq also highlighted the aerodynamic gains of smoothing out your legs, so maybe start cycling and running dressed in compression socks. Or shave!
