You think they should test that?? I mean it is pretty obvious the advantage to riding in a 30 rider pack sitting directly on wheels, don’t you think?
As for this test, it should be interesting. I hope they use different protocols, or at least mother nature gives them some real world conditions to deal with. It’s great that we are finally in a place where this kind of test can be relevant, we have the RR for exact distances, and power meters to measure resistance. Only real variable is the actual rider, have to get them to stay consistent through the tests, would be very easy to jack the test one way or the other if they had a mind to..
