Recumbent E-bikes

[Rás Cnoic]

True, but climbs in races are rarely at a static pace. It's attack after attack after attack. Conserving energy is important, but if others are attacking, you can't. Losing position before the descent can cost you the race.

Of course but I was just demonstrating why you'd get out of the saddle.

Im going to have to look into this, theres more to that overtake than better efficiency

A century with a climb like that toward the end would tend to attract strong riders. Which makes the recumbent rider going that much faster than all of them particularly hard to believe.

I think it was Lance in disguise.
