Article Synopsis
- - The study examines how wind speed and road grade affect the estimation of aerodynamic drag in cycling during real-world tests.
- - It combines numerical and experimental methods to analyze the sensitivity of drag area estimation, finding that ignoring small wind speeds and gradients can lead to significant errors.
- - Results indicate that including these factors in the assessment significantly improves the accuracy of power predictions, reducing errors from about 25.5% to 4.4%.
