Cervelo and Drafting
Can't Post
Recently, I heard that Cervelo are so aero that WTC changed the drafting rule and that if you're behind a cervelo, you can stay just one bike length behind, without getting a draft.
I also heard that they now had a rule that prohibits cervelos from getting within 3m of aid stations because the turbulence created by the bike screws up the aid stations and people keep catching colds.

Cervelo riders now have to ride 122 miles at Ironman, since WTC amended the rules to require that all IM-distance bike courses have a 10 mile "Cervelo loop" added to make it fair for those who do not have a Cervelo yet.

In Clearwater people with Cervelos were riding in massive packs, sitting up on the aerobars, and they were STILL going 30mph. Awesome!

Well I just read section 13,page 6,023 of the WTC manual and it states that if you are riding a Cervelo with a Zipp Sub 9 disc you SHALL never need a draft. They've found that when combined with the propulsion from the disc wheel the Cervelos actually give you a constant 15mph tailwind.

The one time Chuck Norris rode a Cervelo, they had to pull him off because the Earth started spinning faster.

Some people believe that in 2012, the world ends because Chuck decides to get on the P5.
