What matters on curvy descents is how much speed you can bring out of the turn. And that mostly depends on how efficient lines you can pick.

- tokai 6y agoThey don't do the supertuck through hard corners of course. That would be absolute madness. Here is a video of Frome descending.[0] There are some hard corners by 6km. He's back up in the saddle and choosing lines through them. [0] https://youtu.be/zojjIghKQoM?t=143 https://youtu.be/zojjIghKQoM?t=143
- brudgers 6y agoAt 3:04 in the video Froome takes a corner in his tuck.
- tokai 6y agoYeah, a left kink. Not a hard corner.
- jimlikeslimes 6y agoFrome is a pretty average descender though. I've heard him talk about struggling on descents, especially in his early career or bad weather.
