Only 51x15??? Basically you went with almost a 50x15... smaller wheel, sure you were at full speed (63km/h) before the 1st 200 meters, the incredible thing for me is that you did not hit the wall, all the laps almost at the same speed, that is the hardest thing to do in this race... My last 150 meters sucked to the point of getting off the podium every year just because of hitting the wall.
How you guys dealt with hitting the wall problem?? Any special training for it?? What was the trick??  Quote:
