Man, i actually miss the old time bikes, tiny tubes and no tubes for shoulders
$15000 super slick bike designed with aerodynamic in mind, but making yourself streamlined is illegal? That makes no sense at all
Unfaiitr
Serious question. So if I wear a smooth neat bag on my chest instead of putting water bottle inside jersey does that give me more aerodynamic?
Ironman is banning "letting gas out" as a "propelling fairing".
I’ve just got my belly in the front of my jersey for aerodynamics
It's an IRONMAN WTF
If taped handlebars are artificial increase of streamlining, isn‘t every other part of a modern aero-bike the same? Like full carbon wheels or low-drag bottles?
Yes, ban the things everyone can afford.
Dumb
What about the bull head style water bottles? Those are technically a faring of some sort aren't they?
They are just using physics to their advantage in the race.
Im about to do my first ever triathlon. Half Ironman Madison.
Ngl, I'm pretty pissed about all the random rules. Like, I've got a trek road bike from 2007. The dude with the 2024 tribike worth my house probably has an advantage. Who cares about a damn water bottle?
And why can't we wear headphones as a non pro or even non competitor for an age group!? 6 hours with nothing but silence? Lol, im good
Don't do this and don't do that … :)))))
It's a race. Isn't the objective to go as fast as you can go?
Constructors championship vs riders championship?? Like F1, but make it even better.
I'm a heavy guy who can't swim due to negative buoyancy I sink . I mentioned to Ironman they can give me the slowest time out of the water or slowest time of the day if I could use a life jacket, out came the rules on approved wetsuits and temperatures. I can run a marathon, cycle 100-miles but I can only swim 3 meters top of the pool to the bottom. I no longer care about Ironman as it's image is more important than letting people have a go, and yeah I'm too big for the approved wetsuits.
Stupidity at it's best
Rules, made from someone who is pissed that he had not discoverd it😂
More belly, more aero.
water bottle down shirt gives you massive aero gains!!!
But why though?
Are these tricks not available to everyone? I don’t see the problem.
If you think these tricks are ridiculously then i'd recommend to not look at the UCI rules
Cada vez se acercan más a la UCI por lo absurdo.
Sounds like BS. By that logic wouldn't streamlined helmets, wheelsets, and frame and bar structures be fairings?
The one piece aero bars are banned?
Don’t put a water bottle down your shirt poor person, but if you’re wealthy or sponsored, you can ride a $15,000 bicycle with another $5000+ in aero and ultra light accessories in the race with no problems. How about you say (like a wetsuit) if you choose to put said water bottle in your Jersey or tape your aerobars, you cannot receive prize money, even if you win. But disqualifying someone who trained and paid $850 just to finish should not be a problem. Or, make an “open” division where mods are encouraged and the fittest or smartest innovator, short of a propulsion system wins that category?
I still struggle to see so many athletes without an EZ Disc !! Test as fast as a disc wheel and would save 2-3 minutes over 90k 👌
Ridiculous event.
Athlete's should abandon ironman race.
bold of you to assume that i am going to attempt an ironman, i can barely complete a sprint distance 😭👍🏻
omfg who cares if its making you faster your comptitors can do the same are we not wanting to see the fastest humans possible UCI and the likes are utter jokes
Dumb rules!
Dentists are in shock…
Who gives a shit!!!
It’s all totally arbitrary. Some aero mods are allowed, others aren’t. Where’s the sense to it?
Can’t wait to utilize this to go from 15.9 mph to 16 🎉
