Dan Bigham is a performance engineer at INEOS Grenadiers, founder of Wattshop, and former World Hour Record holder (with 55.548 km). In this interview, we discuss the hour record, the Sub7 project that he was heavily involved in, and the latest and greatest in the world of aerodynamics.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
-Dan's training, testing, and overall preparation leading into the Hour Record
-Pacing strategies and dealing with the heat
-Dan's estimated power and CdA for the Hour, and could he go even faster?
-The Sub7/Sub8 project
-Do's and don'ts (or what works and what doesn't) in aerodynamics based on Dan's current knowledge
-Aero-impact of trisuits, calf guards, shoes, camelbacks, Anemoi Sailfish hydration system, and rolling resistance impact of tires
-Listener questions on aerodynamics (shaved legs, craziest thing Dan has ever done in the name of aero, and more)
