Oh, I thought you were saying he is on the Incremental gains plan that Sky is on. Then I open this thread and its about aerobars.
Yes, that was an intentional homage to Sky’s use of 3D tech to optimize a TT cockpit.
Also found it intriguing in the sense that it says something about Patrick’s support system and related approach to improvement. Professional is a word that comes to mind. I find that inspirational.
There is more here than just aerobars.

I think the general consensus on the team Sky incremental/marginal gains approach is more a reference to the hanky panky around Wiggins TUEs or Froome asthma medicatiton etc etc vs the aero and other items that they are true pros at constantly optimizing. Glad there is no Sky like hanky panky at play here. I want to think the 2:40 run splits are 2:40 run splits. Patrick's overall light weight at around 140 lbs gives him the most massive advantage of any pro in Kona given the guy can also ride at 4W per kilo and keep up with the 2nd or 3rd bike pack.
