Thanks Bob.
So Armstrong's second half was faster than Zabriskie's, but we know he
lost 5 seconds in the last few kms. I guess his total time for the
last 9.4kms was bouyed by him realizing he could catch the fat lazy
pink German, and he did everything he could to do so.

Both rode 2 km/h faster than the field behind them. 2 km/h! Incredible.

It's incredible if you believe the wind was constant throughout the day
like cyclingnews said. It's Incredible if you believe Zabriskie had a
tailwind and that LANCE did it with worse conditions...2km/h!

Well, at least that explains why Armstrong stopped gaining on Ullrich
after he passed him. That little puff of tailwind that somehow
mysteriously avoided all the other riders who were spaced one whole
minute apart and followed Armstrong around started pushing Jan
when Lance passed him.

Can you post one of these for stage 2 as well, when you have the data?
That should really clear things up. I expect that we will see that both
of those outliers disappear and that it was just a one-off.

To bad stage 1 was not an ITT. Stage 1 was TODAY (Sunday, 3 Jul) and
was a road race.
The race on Saturday was the PROLOGUE.

(psssst...technically, if it's longer than 10k or so, it isn't a
prologue it's an ITT. like in 2000)

According to the Société de Tour de France (the organizers), there is no
prologue this year, and yesterday's ITT was Stage 1.

Man, I hate it when I correct someone and my correction was itself wrong.
That's a fatal mistake.
danko
sure) is no longer considered PROLOGUE, not by ASO and they are the
organizers so...

Didn't you forget something at the start of your post (hint it starts with
a D).
