Team Banana can help.
In this week's BikeRadar article, Team Banana reveal a new technology to be used at this year's TDF on the punishing climbs.
Secrecy surrounds the mysterious device although one image has been leaked to the press this morning.
Team Banana expect to have the device on sale by January.
More tech news to come soon.

Is that Team Banana in the pic?
I forgot all about "carrot on a stick" technology. It's been in operation with camels/mules for centuries now and works quite well.
Not too sure about aerodynamics though.0 -
Team banana appear to be all black... they won't win anything.0

I know that sounds racist, but it's irony and that.0

What happens if at the top of the hill there is a plateau, does it still work?0
-
the idea is flawed. the greater the incline, the more chance there is of the rider being able to reach said banana....0
-
So if the incline was like 60% they'd have a better chance?0
-
of reaching the banana, yes...0

I must admit to being on the skeptical side of the banana split. I was working on the theory that the banana plant is in fact a herb and the proponents of it's health giving properties had been smoking it rather than eating it. However I have been forced to revise my opinion.
1Cavendish banana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cavendish is the name for the banana cultivar used most commonly in the world banana trade.[citation needed] One of many banana cultivars originating in Vietnam[1] and China,[citation needed] it became the primary replacement for the Gros Michel banana in the 1950s. Cavendish's descendant, the Dwarf Cavendish Banana, is often grown as a houseplant.[citation needed]
Cavendish bananas range from approximately 15–25 cm in length, and are used in baking, fruit salads, fruit compotes, and to complement foods. The outer skin is partially green when sold in food markets and turns yellow when it ripens. When over-ripe, the skin will turn black and the flesh becomes mushy. Bananas ripen naturally and are at their peak ripeness when the peel is all yellow with a few dark brown specks beginning to appear.

Too much of a coincidence?If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.0 -

I'd rather have a watermelon than a banana.0

Have you tried getting a watermelon in your back pocket?0

Yeah. Just peel it first!"There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world, t'would be a pity to damage yours."0 -
The design is seriously flawed. One banana isn't enough and manual loading of the device will doubtless cause you to slow down. If you're averaging over 18mph in a hilly area, EVERYONE knows that you need to eat about 55 bananas a week, so one is just not enough. Now if we could have this belt fed, like a gatling gun, then that might be of use.

I went into the blue on the hills today, forget about red, I went to blue.
The only thing that rescues me is a nice sickly mars bar!0
