• Pro Cycling Is Faster. This is Why.

  Pro cycling speeds have gotten faster and faster. But what role has tech played in that? One of the chief architects of that evolution has been the performance engineer Jean-Paul Ballard, and we sat down with him at the Immenstadt wind tunnel in Germany to discuss all the things that make riders faster and the things that don't. As well as the things that will make us faster in the future!  He’s a fascinating person to speak to, so we hope you enjoy our conversation!
