No aerodynamic handlebars, but it didn't bother Matthew Glaetzer and Thomas Cornish, who made it an Aussie one-two in the men’s 1000m time trial in Birmingham
Australian cyclists Matthew Glaetzer and Thomas Cornish finished one-two in the men’s 1000m time trial despite being forced to change to less aerodynamic sprint handlebars after AusCycling found the previous bars were not suitable for the stresses of the event.
Glaetzer defended his Commonwealth Games title from four years ago, finishing in 59.505 to beat Cornish’s 1.00.036. last year, which resulted in a scathing review that found AusCycling had failed to properly stress-test equipment used by its athletes.
