The Velo vs Aero bike video is up.
Just had a watch.
Aero bike wins, by 4 seconds. I wonder if Manon rode the velo for a few more weeks, then they did it again, if she would spank Si completely.
She was bobbing up and down in a way that suggests her crank adjustment, crank length or pedalling technique could do with some work. (Possibly the classic upwrong-rider error of pulling on the handlebars rather than pushing into the seat, which really doesn't work with a tiller. It's what you tend to slip into when the cranks are too far away.) And of course there's no substitute for practice when it comes to corners. The Milan is surprisingly good at cornering, but multi-track is still a completely different animal to a bicycle in this department.
I note that unlike the others she was correctly referring to it as a velomobile, and appeared to have evidence of the recumbent grin. Do we have a convert?
Film-wise, they did a decent effort of making the velomobile look like it was going fast, which is surprisingly hard to do as they don't lean into corners and you can't see much of the rider.
