Why do GP riders wear tape on their nose ?

[bluninja]

Hamish has recently started using them for snoring - they don't stop it completely, but the certainly do seem to help.

Lynda try cotton wool in each ear

TTFN

I understand that they work really well for some snorers. Anything's better than an elbow in the ribs just as Kylie Minogue is hopping off the back of your dream sportsbike...

Fixed my snoring problem......









Got

Ya never know what new stuff you're gonna learn.
I thought the whole idea was to stop fogging up the visor

Thought I'd resurrect this old thread, cos I've found something that actually seems to work to stop my snoring (it doesn't bother me too much, but the missus isn't too keen on the old night music).

Vicks Sinex spray. A couple of squirts up each nostril before bedtime and you're away.

Seems to have cleared up my bruised kidneys and thick ear as well....... Magic stuff.

This is probably the same quesiton as to why Nelly wears a bandaid on his cheek?
Does he have a permanent infection?

They have already been proven to be bullshit - don't waste your money

FASTEST RIDER IN THE WORLD SAYS ALL THOSE SCIENTITIANS ARE WRONG

[WINJA]

Where do you buy them nose thingies from?

I CAN MAKE SOME FROM SANITARY PADS(UNUSED)

[danb]

Wooot they are trying to rudoph with a nose that glows

[Hitcher]

Was thinking much the same thing.

The breath should be taken in through the nose. Bit difficult to explain in words but if you are breathing correctly you will feel the air enter your throat through the upper section of your nose.

When you breath in flare the nostrals and you will feel the cold air on the back and upper part of the throat. Now do the same without flaring the nostrals. You will still feel the cold air. What you may not have noticed is that you are using your diaphagm as it should be used.

No bandage on the nose is going to make the passage way any larger.

Seems to me a bit like the American Grid Iron players using black under there eyes. Some bullshit about reducing glare from the flood lights. Bollicks. It's all about image and macho.

I'm pretty sure that rugby players were using them a few years ago then gave them up....then they started using gloves and mostly gave them up.
They also shave themselves, gell themselves, mascara themselves, cry on telly, hug each other.....
Why would the MotoGP guys want to copy them?

Hamish uses "Snor Stop" or similar name, from the chemist. Must be the same sort of thing as the Vicks one. Generally it works well, sometimes he still snores but far far less with the spray. He's given up on the stick-on nose thingys. This stuff you spray in your mouth, not up your nose.

I'll check out the Vicks option in case it's cheaper/better than the other stuff.

Well it actually works!! but it is prob used partly for the image.

I have a hat with the underside of the peak in rossi yellow and the increase in glare over my othe hat with a black underside is quite dramatic!
