Description: We know that cyclists like to obsess overweight, especially the pros, but how much difference does it actually make? We recently did a test on an epic climb in Spain but now it’s time to see on flat terrain. We enlisted the help of pro rider Rory Townsend for an experiment to see how much harder he will have to work when weighed down by a 20kg vest!
