We’re heading to the wind tunnel this week for something a little different. If you listened to our aerodynamics for mountain biking episode recently then you’ll have heard us talk about plans to put a top rider in a wind tunnel. Well recently we did exactly that with Tahnée Seagrave. Fabien Barel came along for the day as well and a lot was learned in a short space of time. I didn’t have long to record interviews with everyone, but there are some short chats with Tony Salter, Bobby from Fox, Fabien Barel and Tahnée. I also wanted to try and give you some insight into the facility and what went on, so give this short episode a listen.

If you want to skip to a particular interview, here’s the times…

Tony Salter – 11mins 20

Bobby from Fox – 14mins 55

Fabien Barel – 17mins 25

Tahnée Seagrave – 21mins 15
