Looking for wind tunnel testing in europe?
Quote | Reply
Asking for a group in europe looking for wind tunnel testing.

So far geographically france or belgium looks like the best bet. In particular, the group in magny-cours (http://www.ace.tm.fr) looks good, or the flanders bike valley wind tunnel (flandersbikevalley.be).
However, we all know the tunnel results are only as good as the engineers doing it.

The french tunnel in magny cours looks to be more professional, with a whole host of F1 teams and automotive customers. Cycling wise they test for LOOK, Mavic, Bianchi, a whole lot of cycling teams (ag2r, french national team, quik step, belkin, etc) so they look to have some experience... but mavic, Look and Bianchi arent exactly known to be at the cutting edge of aero...

The bike valley wind tunnel tests for ridley, lazer and bioracer and is totally cycling specific. They also test for lotto soudal.

Anyone have any experience with the two and which would be the better bet?

Manon Genet (only french pro women triathlete in Kona this year) went to Magny for a session right after Vichy, in order to prepare Kona and next season.

There is a report about this, with some pictures, in her Facebook or Twitter.
