Plus it was dry and not as dusty as usual.
Please explain the trend? Not just in the
PR but virtually all races and women as well speeds are up year over year the past 6 years especially so. Your premise speeds should have dropped precipitously with the adoption of current tech. I graphed the top 10 classics races combined over 50 years and the trend is clear and from what my research shows not one dentist was involved.
