Rider profile: Lasse Norman Hansen

Lasse Norman Hansen is a new signing for Team Garmin-Sharp in 2014. He comes from a very promising under-23 career which also included a gold medal at the London Olympics in track omnium. We are really excited to see what Lasse can do in 2014, he’s off to a great start finishing 3rd overall at Dubai Tour! What is your first memory involving a bicycle? That would be riding a way-too-small bicycle around in the back yard. It was the bike that I got too big for, that’s the first bike I remember having fun on. What got you started into racing?

They’re a warm weather garment with a very low cut front and a nice airy mesh in back between the straps. The shorts on the Body Paint Bibshorts are formed from a single piece of seamless fabric for a naturally supportive fit. The short feels like it is hugging you perfectly in any position, thanks to this anatomic fit and the as well as a highly compressive fabric. The main body of the shorts is cut from a single piece of Lycra. This smooth fit, combined with the aero dimples employed in the material, make this is the most aerodynamic bib short on the market. We have engineered the dimples into the fabric to induce flow separation and reduce aerodynamic drag. Think of it as the clothing equivalent for the Zipp rim dimples. Smooth fit combined with aero dimples. Perhaps nothing in these bib shorts has benefited as much from our association with professional cycling teams as the Progetto X2 Air Seat Pad. The Cervélo TestTeam and Garmin-Barracuda teams spend three years testing ...
