Thursday Video - Superman Descending Position

The ultimate aerodynamic descending position

Chris Froome's descending position got a lot of attention during last year's Tour de France. He gained 13 precious seconds on his competitors with a surprise attack on a descent. The cyclist above is Michael Guerra in his "Superman" position. Check out the video below, which shows him blowing past five other cyclists, all of whom are pedaling. He eventually passes the motorcyclist, who decides to adopt the Superman position as well.
