What are the top speeds these guys are getting to? I am surprised that with
gaps this close that riders aren't wearing more aero clothing. Big shorts that
scoop air and act as a parachute must cost a fair bit of time. I ski racing a
suit is huge. Even in GS which sees 60 to 70 kph its worth a few seconds in a
minute and half run. Some guys are racing in full pants which makes sense to
me. I am not suggesting lycra skin suits but closer fitting jerseys and pants
would be an advantage I would think.
