Dr Daan Bregman, of the TU Delft Sports Engineering Institute, said the same techniques could be used to test other parts of Dumoulin's equipment.
"We want to use this mannequin to test more aspects of his aerodynamics," said Bregman. "For example, which helmet should we use, can we use the same time trial suit when it's raining or maybe we should use something else. So it gives us loads of opportunities to test all the things we want without having Tom Dumoulin here in the wind tunnel."
Bregman added that the project's multidisciplinary nature had been of enormous benefit to the project.
Teun van Erp, the scientific consultant for Team Giant-Alpecin, was involved in the testing program, and is hopeful the innovative skinsuit could help Dumoulin win gold in Doha. "We hope that with ten or fifteen seconds extra gain we have with the suit he will win the gold medal," he said.
Van Erp added that five of Dumoulin's colleagues in Team Giant-Alpecin will also be wearing tailor-made suits in Qatar, developed using the 3D mannequin tests.
The TU Delft team believes similar tests could be conducted on suits worn by speedskaters and swimmers, where drag is also an important element of sporting performance.
