📊 Aerotune Simulation of tomorrows TT and final Stage at the Tour de France 🇫🇷🥳

The excitement is building as we gear up for tomorrow's time trial and the final stage of the Tour de France 2024! We've conducted a detailed simulation to predict the outcomes, and the results are fascinating. Based on our analysis, we anticipate that the winning time will be under 50 minutes, with riders achieving an impressive average speed of over 40 km/h.

In our simulation, we took a close look at several critical factors, including aeropoints (CdA), power output, carbohydrate storage, and pacing strategies. These calculations were made using a system weight of 72 kg, paired with a VO2max of 86-92, which varies depending on the rider's efficiency in using oxygen relative to power output. Additionally, we factored in a VLamax of 0.45 to understand the rider's anaerobic capacity.

One key aspect of our simulation is the pacing strategy, which we set at 435 watts. For gradients above 3%, we've added an extra 18 watts for each percentage point of incline, ensuring that the riders can optimize their performance even on challenging sections of the course.

As we dive deeper into the numbers, the anticipation grows. If you're curious about any specific elements of our simulation or have questions about how we arrived at these predictions, don't hesitate to reach out. The world of cycling is full of fascinating dynamics, and we're excited to share insights from our analysis!
