Groenewegen debuts a new aerodynamic prosthetic nose at the Tour

The Dutch champion Dylan Groenewegen is sporting a new model of Scicon sunglasses at the Tour, the same brand that sponsors Pogacar, which has not gone unnoticed for its aerodynamic nose coverage.

Sunglasses with an "aero" nose

After two mountain stages, the Tour de France 2024 arrives at a flat stage where aerodynamics will be essential and sprinters will have their first chance for victory. This is where Dylan Groenewegen can make the most of the new sunglasses model he is wearing.

This is a prototype model from the Italian brand Scicon that sponsors the Dylan Groenewegen team and UAE, and it is very striking for its aerodynamic cover that promises to turn any nose into an arrow against the wind.

Obviously, these sunglasses have not gone unnoticed and social media has quickly filled with all kinds of comments, but it remains to be seen if such a disruptive model could prevail among fans and cycling groups that go out to ride every weekend, even if it is proven to provide aerodynamic gains.

What do you think of this type of sunglasses? Do you think they could become popular on the streets?
