- We have got here Pieter Heemeryck's SCOTT Plasma TT,
and Pieter himself, which is great.
Pieter, what's your best result you've had on this bike?
- Best result I think it was my winning Challenge Prague.
There I had I think first bike's bit or maybe second ride
was there so.
- And how long have you actually been riding this bike?
- I think it's starting the season, so 5 months?
- And how is this different than what you
were riding before?
- Yeah, it's the same bike.
The only thing I changed was here.
I've got now this bends, otherwise it was more straight,
but I more like this ones.
- Okay, and you said you had a bike fit.
Was that part of the change from the bike fits or?
- Yeah, they saw it's more for me.
It's more important to be more comfort
and I like this position much more than the other.
- Alright, now we just have a quick look at you,
and a few interesting bits
and some bits you've said had made in the UK.
Can you explain what you've got going on here
and the reason for this very aerodynamic looking section.
- Yeah, this is a part from Drag 2 Zero
and it makes the bike more aerodynamic
and I've got an inner tube, two tyre levers
and a CO2 plectrum inside it so it's very aerodynamic
and you don't have to put it after the bike
or to do it with duct tape so it's very good stuff.
- And another little piece you said that's come from the UK
is your computer mount here.
Talk me through this.
What is this?
Why do you have this exactly?
- Yeah, I was searching for a good TT mount
and I added all the others as the rim fell off.
For the bike, I mostly choose for the seat,
808, the new one, the NS3 Series.
If it's possible, I choose for the disc.
- Yeah.
- And yeah, the tyres are always with me, 25 Continentals.
Not the fastest one, but I'm not so technical on the bike
so I choose for more protection
and I think it's the GP 4 thousand S2.
So yeah, it's not the fastest tyre but I like them the most.
- And what pressure do you ride at?
- Mostly of the time if it's dry, 6.5, 7 Max.
But when it's wet, I do one bar less.
- Okay, now you mentioned
that you've changed your poles a little bit.
What poles are you using and what shift has you got here?
- Yeah, I think it's called Ski bends.
Yeah, before it was more the flat ones.
It's more aggressive but I found out
if I am in this position more, more comfort
that I can keep the butts longer, high,
so that's why I choose for this one now.
For drive train, I choose Shimano Di2
and it's very good drive train.
With it has a RAM.
I feel I don't the watts on my computer
so for me, it's very important.
Also, the Shimano Race pedals
and I've got 172.5 millimitre cranks.
- Have you always been on that length cranks?
- Yeah, always, from the beginning.
- So you've obviously changed the positioning
at the front of your bike.
Have you changed anywhere else on you setup?
- Yeah, now one centimetre lower since my last race.
- That's quite a significant amount.
- Yeah, and I hope it will be good for the race
because I trained with the position now
for a couple of weeks and its much better
so I hope I can do much better bike rides now.
- What about the positioning of your saddle?
Did they change that when they changed the heights or?
- No, it's just always flat.
I Like it the most.
Yeah, I'm using a ESM 30.
It's the new version of the Adimo.
Yeah, for me, it's a very comfortable saddle
and I like it very much.
- Right.
What's your favourite sound on your bike?
- Yeah, the sound when you've got this wheel on.
- Can we have a hear of the wheel?
Can you give it a spin for us?
(wheels whirring)
Peter, thanks so much for showing us your bike.
Really great insight there.
