hey don't get me wrong i love watching the TTT it's an amazing spectacle to whatch. I just don't think it's fair... to me it basically allows the bigger budget teams to buy minutes and seconds. in a RR a strong team is a great asset, but a talented rider with a lesser team still has a chance to use tactics to pull out a victory... in a TTT no tactics are involved... if you have the budget to buy the HP you are going to gain minutes... i guess you could get your girlfriend to throw thumb tacks down as Disco, CSC and TMobile roll past but I think that's frowned upon
[edit] guess we'll have to wait another year to see what the CSC TTT team could do with Cancellera in there... that would be a smokin' TTT [edit]
