ABOUT US

OUR MISSION

Is to provide cycling and triathlon performance consultancy to improve the athlete’s performance and enjoyment in the sport, by applying a scientific approach to cycling performance, with the goal of understanding what makes each athlete faster.

BERNARDO GONÇALVES

MECHANICAL ENGINEER & FORMER UCI CONTINENTAL CYCLIST

Bernardo holds a Master's in Mechanical Engineering where he focused his master's thesis in developing cycling models to evaluate aerodynamic drag on the road. Moreover, he did several aerodynamics courses in topics such as Sports & Building Aerodynamics, CFD simulations and Thin Airfol Theory.

Bernardo is also a professional cyclist and works in collaboration with Scientific Triathlon, meaning he has also a deep understanding of the multitude of factors that influence sports and endurance performance.

 FAQs

  • To test, we use validated aerometers that allow us to access aerodynamic efficiency in a real-world scenario with the same level of accuracy as the wind tunnel.

  • Testing can be conducted on a flat, quiet segment of road with not much traffic, or in an outdoor or indoor velodrome.

  • You should do aerodynamic testing, even if you have a race close to confirm equipment choices and test some potential upgrades you could do in a short period.

  • While having a deep knowledge of aerodynamics is important, validating those concepts through testing is crucial for improving performance.

  • You need a speed sensor, a Garmin device and a power meter. If we are doing position changes we also need the bike fit kit that comes with the bike.

  • You will benefit from these services and the improvements you will have will be bigger than for advanced athletes.
