Pretty sure that box was designed to help aerodynamics by "cleaning up the airflow behind the rider"... rough quote from his write-up about the design.

Probably the dopest bike at the race and track leaders is showing no movement off the start line for Rob English...hopefully just a spot glitch...

TABR started this morning, Mr English may have had transponder problems, initially the report was 0 miles, like a non start.

To track him individually , https://trackleaders.com/transam17i....me=Rob_English

yesterday the LBS was clogged with quite a few that came surprisingly under prepared..
