Aero Testing with Maurice Clavel

While the Plasma 5 inherits all the innovative features Triathletes and Time Trial specialist ask for, SCOTT continously supports their international athletes in improving their position on the bike. An aerodynamic advantage which can make the difference between winning and loosing on race day. Before leaving for a final training camp ahead of the inaugural Challenge Dubai on February 27, Maurice Clavel was working together with SCOTT's Lars Teutenberg to improve his aerodynamic performance on the bike during a testing session at the Velodrome in Aigle (CH).
