Bit of an update.
I have been working on fitness using a personal trainer to do one session upper body, 1 session lower body -both session are aiming at Core stability and strength ending with a cardio work out. This has seen good improvements in my physical fitness, mainly with race stamina and my ability to move about all race long on the bike.
Bike ergonomics - I do not have much to adjust - mainly seat height and moving seat forwards / backwards
Raced a different bike with a different seat / bars /pegs setup and it felt completely different. Only wish I had measured everything Compared to my bike so much happier to move around and my bum was definatelly further off the seat in corners. Suspect its the footpegs being further back.
Tyre - the tyres I use are a soft road legal tyre (control tyre) and I am about 1mm from the edge. from looking back at photos I can see the bike angle is more extreme as I am not hanging off the bike, fellow racers who are off the bike more have their bikes closer to the vertical.
Lower leg angle - Watching some people such as Lorenzo his lower leg on the inside appears to be parallel to the tarmac, while my lower leg is more vertical.
Having sold my old race bike and buying another I have an excellent opportunity to address this again. Stomp grips did help on the old bike!
all help gratefully received.
