He needs a Bento Box. ;-)

Take the Mavic stickers off

An aero helmet?

Front disk?

Dimpled shins?

    

What that photo doesn't show is the 880W. The lack of aero helmet is due to the violent nature of the start I suspect. The kilo probably has too much pilot movement for the use of the tailfin of a traditional aero helmet. Aero helmets need stoic positions.

Little stuff like valve extenders, gloves, and upturned cowhorn ends. Certainly there is time lost there, no?

Ok, maybe ceramic bearings might have helped this guy...

Floyd might have some tips...

Time to roll out the DA - track.

if he'd just chop off the upturns on his basebar it's be a good place to start.

So close! That's a real shame to miss like that and I believe it was his last time at the kilo before it dies.

Rumous are circulating that he might have one more go.

btw apologies for not catching up yesterday. I was off radar with a bug. I trust you kicked arse in the MTB event ?

Why not just wait for a hotter, lower barometric pressure day? And make sure he eats his Wheaties.

Those enormous quads don't look very aerodynamic.

Kilo remains as a WC event, just got killed at the IOC. I suspect it'll be back however, as next to match sprints, it draws the biggest cheers. I think Chris is going to shift focus to the keirin though so you are right about this being his last chance. I wonder if he shrunk wrapped his shoes/pedals as has been done before?

Sorry, I was a little misleading with my comment. You are correct it is Chris' swansong for the kilo as he is concentrating on the rough and tumble of the keirin now that the kilo has gone from the Olympics. I can't see him missing the shrink wrap trick but you never know.

Front disc would be my first suggestion. Is there a reason he wasn't using one? I'm not familiar with the rules.

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

Longer tailed aero helmet, better skin suit, flat rear disc, cut bar ends, wear ear plugs, should all equal about 1 sec. gain @880 watts, hope he gets to try it again. Paying attention to air density will be very important.

Dunno, he's outdoors perhaps.

He's used a front disc at worlds before, and an aero helmet, perhaps he's got sponsor obligations.

I seem to recall some of the UK guys using flat discs up front and the Mavic in the back, but seldom outdoors.

He did manage to beat the 500m record by over a second though - looking good for next year's Olympics. It's a shame he didn't close out his kilo career with the record though.
