CEO of Swiss Side, JP Ballard - Aerodynamics for Age Group Triathletes‪!‬ The Pacing and Racing Podcast

Today we have The Founder and CEO of Swiss Side and one of the worlds best aerodynamicist; Mr Jean-Paul Ballard himself!

Now I am excited to talk to him today because JP is the go-to guy when it comes to aerodynamics for both the Professional and Age Group Triathletes. JP has a previous background in designing car concepts and engineering in the Formula 1 Racing series and has brought that knowledge into the Cycling industry. He has worked with some of the best triathletes in the world like Patrick Lange, Daniela Ryf and Laura Phillip. 

JP is able to give so many simple inputs like bottle placement, suit, helmet, positioning, and more that really doesn’t cost much to change. So if your looking for essentially free speed out on your next bike ride then definitely stay tuned!
