On Friday 24th April 2015 Team Katusha leader Alexander Kristoff visited the Drag2Zero facility at the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team wind tunnel in Northamptonshire, UK. Being advised by Simon Smart who has worked with many of the top time trialists on the WorldTour, the session focused primarily on Kristoff’s riding positon.

"We had an extremely useful visit and will be looking at the data from the session with interest to help with Alexander’s preparations for his next time trials," explained Stein Oern, Kristoff’s coach.

After he did a great time trial at the 3 Days of De Panne, Kristoff made it clear that he wanted to focus more on his skills in the discipline.
