Re: Do the large higher yaw drag savings seen in the wind tunnel transfer to the real world? [wtboone]

Earlier posts indicate that riding in windy conditions that should produce some time riding at 10 to 15 degrees yaw does not result in drag savings over no wind unless the roads are pretty open and straight and the wind is steady.

No, they do not. During our field tests, the wind was both strong and gusting. Furthermore, although the venue was wide open (which would influence the relationship between wind at 10 m as normally reported and wind at ground level), wind speed (and direction) were measured at the cyclists' height.
