500m handlebar choice
Just finished watching the NBC Sports lifestream of the women's 500m World Championship. Of the 8 finalists, 7 opted for drop bars, but the winner, Shmeleva, used aero bars. In 2013, all but one of the riders (Pendleton, I recall) used aero bars. I wonder if we can begin to conclude that drop bars are proving to be the better choice for the 500, based on what top riders are choosing. I have to believe world-level teams have done a lot of testing.
