Every second counts - part 2

OK - time to get hardcore! Here is a tip that won't gain you one second per kilometre because you only get one shot at it.

Do the maths and this means that the total gain over the TT is 1 second but in a game where every second counts this tip can only be to your advantage.

Tip 2: Throw yourself as well as the bike.

Most books will tell you to throw your bike but they never mention the most obvious method to gain precious time.

Perfect this and you've gained yourself 1 second!

NB. For those 'i' dotters and 't' crossers I checked with UCI on this one and the time stops when your head crosses as long as your bike is less than 3.065 metres behind you. No TT rider in the red zone will throw themselves further than the allowed distance.
