Anna Kiesenhofer — Olympic gold medallist in the Tokyo 2020 road race and a mathematician by training — is no stranger to the pursuit of marginal gains. In October 2025, she took delivery of a Streamlines aerodynamic testing system at her base in Switzerland's Rhône valley, aiming to optimise her time trial setup ahead of the 2026 season. The equipment arrived on 22 October: a Streamlines Forma body position sensor and Altostratus wind probe, along with a custom carbon mounting plate. Anna rides a Pinarello Bolide time trial bike, and the first challenge was finding a clean way to fix the sensor beneath the aerobars. Over a couple of days of back-and-forth with the Streamlines team — mounting options, laser...

We were thrilled to attend the inaugural Cycling Technology Networking Event at Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub on February 12, 2025. The event featured insightful industry talks, facility tours, and live demonstrations. John Buckley gave a talk on “Normalising Variables in Outdoor Aerodynamic Testing”—a crucial factor which enables the high accuracy of our CIRRUS aerodynamic drag measurement system. Beyond the presentations, the event provided a great opportunity to connect with fellow industry professionals, catch up with current customers, and meet potential new ones. Looking forward to the next one!
