so the company has put the "Chasing the Lion" film on youtube, so this is the first time most of us will have been able to watch it. but watching lionel test with alphamantis reminded me of a post i had made a couple of weeks ago regarding aero testing. basically the fact that, while testing, you tend to get sucked into this mentality of ''chipping away'' at your cda, often to the detriment of your overall performance. so at some point one of the testers comments "we've created a new athlete" and the funny part is - if i remember correctly - lionel doesn't even ride the same position he did because he had so much difficulty putting out race power in that position such that the aero gains were not worth it. just a good lesson on aero testing, really.
ETA -> I'm trying to find where I felt like his position had changed from the ''super aero'' to his current position and maybe am just making that part up. So if I am, it's NOT a good lesson in how not to fit during aero testing. But either way - enjoy the film if this is the first time you've seen it linked.
that segment is from roughly 9mins - 12mins into the film.
