Pro riders Wrist Support / warmers & Where to Buy?
Does anyone know what the wrist attachments are that the pro riders wear? Are they added wrist support for hilly stages, Are they added warmers to stop the cold getting into the wrist joints? And where can you buy from.
This has been vexing me for some time now. :twisted:

Levi Leipheimer wears a velcro bracelet called Road ID:

It's basically got all his personal info on it. Emergency contact info, etc. He's paid to wear it.
"Normal' riders may wear them in case they have an accident while out training. Just helps the police know where to deliver the body.

WADA needs to investigate the abuse of statements blurring causality and correlation."Every year I run a 10-mile race. Usually my pace per mile goes up 3-5 seconds each year. But this year, while wearing Power Balance, I ran each mile at an average of 7:25, which is 9 seconds faster per mile than I ran last year."0 -
