Obviously not!Surely at a level where every gram matters, isn't all that hair a handicap?
You could say the same about Peter Sagan's thick mop of hair, or all the bearded cyclists. If it mattered, then I daresay each athlete would / did make the decision about priorities.Ok. Trying not to make this abou the appearance of skilled athletes but it struck me that there's a fair of weight of hair.
And alopecia ....Well, it is true that Jo Rowsell Shand competes bald but I assumed that was to do with heat not weight.
Yup, in addition to looking at saddle position and the specific design of shorts and skin suit. And it worked: in the six months between the changes and the Olympics, none of the women's squad had any saddle sores.I heard that British Cycling had ordered their riders to keep their hair long, in order to avoid saddle sores...
Yes but it would be just plain daft to compete in your wig when you wear a helmet anyway. You really didn't give that much thoughtWell yes but I meant sans rug.
This is the most absurdly idiotic comment I have read today. No offence like.Obviously but she makes a decision about it. She could wear the helmet over the wig but doesn't. I am guessing it is a heat dissipation issue, not the weight.
Apologies.Well yes but I meant sans rug.
