In July 2022, cyclist Jonas Vingegaard won the Tour de France. It was a team success of Jumbo-Visma, building upon insights from Professor Bert Blocken, the team’s permanent advisor on aerodynamics since 2017. All main riders in the team have been in the wind tunnel with him to optimize their aerodynamics with the goal of gaining time. 

Radio for Brainport's Jean-Paul Linnartz also had an opportunity to visit the TU Eindhoven windtunnel, not with his bicycle, but with a radio microphone. In this interview, he chats with Bert Blocken about the combination of scientific research and the direct impact on sports.

On air on Radio 4 Brainport in 2019, still hot in 2022.
