’17 watts faster’ – Double disc wheels help propel Wout van Aert to bronze in Olympics time trial

The two seconds that secured Wout van Aert‘s place on the podium in the Paris Olympics time trial may have been down to his use of a front disc wheel. 

The Belgian decided to use the unorthodox set-up, rarely seen on the road due to handling difficulties in crosswinds, after being spotted trialling it on his recon of the course. He went on to win a bronze medal in the event, afterwards explaining the gains he believed he got from the double discs.
