Exploiting a Descent TdFF22-36
Both Christine Majerus (SD Worx) and Anna Henderson (Jumbo-Visma) use the descent of top of an uncategorized climb to distance the remnants of the early break. Majerus looks back at Henderson from her aero tuck, just checking to see if Anna had the nerve to fly down the descent. She shouldn't have worried, the Jumbo-Visma rider came to cycling from downhill skiing, she loves to go down hills fast. While Majerus' position looks odd, it is safer than the now banned super-tuck. However this one does kind of put one's butt up in the air. I am just thinking now that it reminds me of a cat that is very happy with being petted. Regardless, it does make her far more aerodynamic than Henderson's position on the bike.
