CEO of Swiss Side, JP Ballard - Aerodynamics for Age Group Triathletes!

from The Pacing and Racing Podcast · host The Pacing and Racing Podcast

Today we have The Founder and CEO of Swiss Side and one of the worlds best aerodynamicist; Mr Jean-Paul Ballard himself! Now I am excited to talk to him today because JP is the go-to guy when it comes to aerodynamics for both the Professional and Age Group Triathletes. JP has a previous background in designing car concepts and engineering in the Formula 1 Racing series and has brought that knowledge into the Cycling industry. He has worked with some of the best triathletes in the world like Patrick Lange, Daniela Ryf and Laura Phillip.  JP is able to give so many simple inputs like bottle placement, suit, helmet, positioning, and more that really doesn’t cost much to change. So if your looking for essentially free speed out on your next bike ride then definitely stay tuned! To get a sneak peak of today’s episode; he is going to give us tips on: -  setting up your bike for a high-wind triathlon setup - Time Trial Helmets vs road bike helmets Drinking Straws, and Hydration Systems - How to choose your rim depth, tyres, and hub size - & more! I could keep going all day but it’s best if you hear it from the Aero Priest himself; so enjoy the podcast!
