Simon and Bjorn discuss the race

cool pics.

That is a funky bar-end setup on Bjorn’s bike. Does he lay one hand over the other while in the aero-bars?

I know when I’m going up a small incline in the aero position, I sometimes pull up slightly on my aerobars for leverage…does this set-up limit Bjorn’s ability to do that?

3

you can see in the first photo exactly how his hands are on the bar. Climbing isnt bad either as Bjorn feels he gets a good amount of leverage.

Thanks for posting those!

Bjorn needs some manscaping…

5

Those are great pics. Thanks!

6

Jason,

Cool pics, thanks. Any pics of my boys Will and Marc? :smiley:

7

I think i have a few, let me see what i can dig up!

8

Great pics Jason! Thanks!

Is Bjørn sitting higher than he did before? Compared to pics from Norseman 05 he looked lower back then…

9

What kind of ergomo mount does Bjorn have on there? It looks nice and low.

Good pics. Thanks for sharing.

10

Not much higher, but longer in the front being more stretched out- Different stem setup and a cockpit position refit with input from steve hed (much narrower elbows and more stretched in the arms) The position has been evolving over the past year slowly.

11

The standard mount that comes with Ergomos now, i think it is also sold as an aftermarket mount for like $20.

nice shots jason…what about ST poster Mike Caiazzo?
