It wasn't as windy as last year, but still windy...and it still hurt just as bad. Especially that first stretch.
And that junior raced in Belgium last year. I have a feeling we'll be hearing about him on a larger stage soon.

if you want a cheap TT frame, go for the Leader 720TT. I got mine new for $140. It's a little on the heavy side, but it's very stiff and gets the job done. Overall it's tremendous bang for the buck. I put my whole bike together for about $1100. The 78 degree seat angle makes a HUGE difference. I'd say as much as 2mph vs. clip on aero bars on a road bike.
