Yeah, you did.
I mean, it's something that the whole tri-bar, the extensions were created to replicate a downhill skiing position.
That was the whole original thing.
Like that tuck up, which downhill skiers had found organically, if you like, that was the way they would go fastest.
They could tuck in and just hide from the wind.
And over the years, it's amazing to think from the introduction of them in the 1989 Tour de France with Greg LeMond, how it's such subtle differences.
But I think when we see Remco Evenepoel, it's at its kind of peak.
And it's also so much of that is due to his morphology.
It allows us, like we discussed on yesterday's pod,
is the fact that he's this perfect combination.
And we talk a lot about genetics, but then the work, he puts loads of work into this.
And I remember when he was with Castelli, Steve Smith, who's the boss of Castelli, was telling me that when he's in the wind tunnel, he can get his shoulders so narrow.
And they actually designed suits that pulled in more.
So when you put them on, it's already pulling you into the position.
But then the fact that he can then tuck up and then heise.
I mean, the whole concept of this is you're hiding.
You're trying to hide and tuck up and getting your face, your fists almost in front of your face and hiding that frontal area.
And as you said, you're almost creating a kind of a missile, a bullet, a shape.
So there's no kind of puncturing holes.
You're actually just this whole pointy end that's just finding that smallest gap in the air.
