Right now Sinballe has a slightly faster speed with slightly fewer watts than Al Sultan on the 2peak. I guess that means he has a more aero position.
It will be great to see how it ends up ath the end of the day.
Wow these guys are monsters averaging over 300 watts.
I guess it’s an aero advantage. I think Sinballe is meant to have a really really good position.
I saw that too…
If he keeps it up, I’m sure we’ll never hear the end of aero-positioning around here.
It’s also about weight, but I don’t know the weight difference between the two. ANyone out there know that factor?
Sultan ave = 4.42 watts/kg
Sinballe ave = 3.76 watts/kg
Is that what you wanted to know?
Is the kg meant to note their respective body weights?
I think so yes. It can be found here:
You can play with the options in the drop-down menu above the graphs.
So does that mean that Sinballe is heavier. I think that Monty was talking about how a lighter rider will have an easier time climbing etc.
If he is heavier then that makes his position even more impressive because it shows that his aerodynmanic advantage is overcoming the factor that he is heavier and using fewer watts to go slightly faster.
How much do each of them weigh in absolute terms?
I guess. That would put Faris at about 72kg and Sinballe at about 82kg. That could be right (?). Dunno.
Yes Torbjørn is very aero…! They worked alot with his equiptment this year…
Spec list from his homepage:
2006 Argon 18 Mercury TT frame.
The new Oval A911 jetstream cockpit and Oval A900 jetstream frontfork
SRM Dura-ace 10-spd cranks
Zipp 808 wheelset with Veloflex tubulars 19mm front 23 mm back
FRM lightweight brakes and the rest is Dura-Ace 10spd
82 Kg that is big for a pro. How tall is he?

From his webpage - not in English but you get the idea…

Kids: Oskar, 3 years old
Education: He is reading “sport” on the univesity on Copenhagen
Birth: 10.21.1976

“Bonus” info: He is riding in the same kind of suit that had been made for the warm in Athens for Rasmus Henning by the danish company Newline… They only made like 30 suits for the national team, they are really awesome…! Like cooling you down.
i think there is an error with sindballe’s data on 2peak - it says he’s about .3 miles behind al sultan, yet he is 3 minutes back according to ironman. And if his avg speed is almost a half mile/hr faster, why is he 3 minutes behind, when that is about how far he was behind starting the bike?
i think his avg speed and miles completed are off…

Sinballe is flying. Within a minute of Al Sultan.
Killer aerodynamics!
