Sorry, my reply above sounded like I was being sarcastic. I actually wrote mine at the same time as yours and I was referencing the same articles, coincidentally at the same time as you. He does indeed have fast skin so we can all look forward to shorter and shorter sleeves and shorts
Looks like Remco hat a custom visor on his TT5 helmet for worlds, potentially to alow him to get his head better tucked in / lower without banging the visor on his forearms.
Any other things you spotted? I sadly couldnât watch the worldâs ITT live.

Definitely looks like a cool color way, but Met Drone to my eye.
Interesting video of Remco testing in a velodrome. Even more interesting, there is apparently a second version of the TT5 helmet that he got, can anyone spot the difference? If you continue watching from that timestamp he mentions that âI am actually almost sitting with this [second version of the TT5] here against my handlebarsâ, so I guess the front of the helmet is extended?

I watched that last week too. I found it very interesting. Good watch, especially while on the trainer.

Itâs definitely a new helmet, my coach works in uae, I sent it to him the day I saw pogacar wearing it.
Does anyone have any idea when the new s works tt 5 will be available to the public? I would like to test

Got to ride the Scottish roads on the Gran Fondo iTT World Champs. Agree that they could have definitely showcased the country better with another course, but a fun race never the less. And got to see the countryside on the road race. 
It did provide some good pictures though. Started thinking that I could raise the extensions-bar a bit to close the gap between hand and head. Tried today, what do you think?
After raise:

Yes, i though pogi normally wears the codatronica. This one looks like it almost has ridges in it though that could be the colour scheme. Brandan McNulty also was wearing it.
Not quite as long a tail as the drone, longer than the codatronica

canât you tilt them more? By the way, you are tall, reminds me of a pro who is good at tt, he even broke the 10 km and 30k record this week, maybe it will help you with the position.

No, Iâm at my max allowed 12cm raise. Would need to do the âGanna-solutionâ och raising the elbow support further up the arms/extensions, and that is not really supported by my extensions.
You are correct, Iâm 188 tall.
Not quite sure where to put this, but really interesting behind-the-scenes geekiness of Dan Bighamâs hour record:

the thing about eating ice and so on, itâs very good, it thermoregulates your body.
Had to dig up your post about the Roval Rapide front wheel as I compared my front wheels in the velodrome, too and the resultsâŚthey dont add up to me.
Short disclosure:
All runs were on a Shiv TT Disc in the Augsburg 200m Velodrome at ~ 48km/h and calculated down to 45km/h.
Baseline / Lauf 1 Aerocoach Titan (GP5000TT 25mm with Campagnolo Disc Rotor and hidden valve)
Lauf 5 Enve 5.6 (GP5000 25mm with Shimano SM-RT900 Disc Brake Rotor and about 2cm of valve) â re-calculated as if the Crr was from a GP5000 TT
Lauf 6 Revolver Troika TMD (GP5000 TT 25mm with Shimano SM-RT900 Disc Brake Rotor and about 4cm of valve)
And if the results are to be believed the Enve 5.6 would be marginally faster than the Aerocoach Titan or the Revolver Troika TMD 
. What I got to confess, and the eagle eyed among you will have spotted it:
- The tire width is not optimal for the Titan and the Campagnolo Disc Rotor probably isnt faster than a old Shimano oneâŚprobably slower.
- The hideous long valve on my Troika Trispoke might negatively influence the measurement. Additionally its said to perform best in slight crosswinds. At 0deg Revolver material shows that their own Kronostock X is slightly faster.

While I think the difference between a 5.6/ Rapide and a super deep/ aero wheel like a Titan/ Troika etc. Will bei smaller than one would expect, I think this test really shows the limitations of track vs the Wind Tunnel.
The track can mainly measure at 0 or super low yaw, while you are likely to experience other yaw angles in the real world as well. Deep wheels, and for example disc wheels really start making a difference when the wind comes from the side.
When I tested in Augsburg, one of the guys tested ENVE 7.8 front and back vs ENVE 7.8 front, ENVE disc rear and the former was fasterâŚ
Grain of salt for sure.

Based on the swissside data you really can only expect a difference of around 3w and thatâs within the margin of error. Interesting test nevertheless.
Shows how finding the best tire to fit your wheels and not go overly long with your valve stem might matter more than a fancy new wheelset

Hmm I just got my new Titan in the mail yesterday and put a DA rotor on it no problem. I was nervous after your post, but now Iâm curious as to what your fitment issue was.

Super interesting, is this why I have heard anecdotally that testing position on the track and equipment in the tunnel is often used?
