Abstract
This paper deals with the aerodynamics of time trial cycling, presenting a reasoned comparison between the results obtained from cyclists wind tunnel testis and track tests carried out in an indoor facility. The paper outlines the difference between the two kinds of tests and the indications that can be extracted from the results.
