I read the freaking article wrote by Cycle Sport that says Levi is not a good time trialist. To that I answer boo yah Cycle Sport America! Levi won the final time trial. That's all I have to say.

Cycle Sport America also claimed that they had NO IDEA WHY BARLOWORLD WAS EVEN INVITED TO THE TOUR.

Did you stop to think that maybe Cycle Sport Seppoland is correct? Maybe you need to ask why LL is all of a sudden riding TT's at 53km/h.;)

Based on pre-Tour results they had a point.

Still not as fast as the clean Lemond on close to 20 year old equipment, and no wind tunnel testing, and power meters.

1989 was only 24km, mostly downhill and a tailwind.

What about 2005 stage 1? Lance super drugs we all know Lance takes. hundred of thousands spent on aerodynamics. Power meters, dimples on wheels, and so on and so forth.

You're assuming Lemond was clean in the final TT of the 1989 Tour.

No I am not. I think up until the tour of 2006 you would have to search high and low to find a clean rider. There is still a lot of doping, but I think it is coming around slowly.
