just to add my two cent. the start of the time trial included 1.7 km of flat at the very beginning so the actual climbing time on the the mountain is a couple minute faster. That would make Christo is not 10 but 12 minutes back of Lance Armstrong =). I know, big deal, but just want to pointed that out. I agrees that the tour rider are quite dead by the time they got to that time trial. I would think they would be a bit quicker if that's the only thing they have to do in the tour.
Speaking Christo, I wonder what your physycal built is like? Rasmussen (sp) or Ullrich?? just out of curiosity. lol
