Another ridiculous argument. Nobody is challenging the ability of John Schlitter.

The original question posed was "are you faster on a bent?"

Some think they are 20% faster. But only in the flats.

Does that mean John Schlitter would be 20% SLOWER on his last race upon Lance's latest Madone? Does this mean a rider of his caliber would now ADD 20 hours to a previous run of 100 hours just by going uright?

I don't think so.
