Hmmmm... interesting comments from Tom Danielson:
One second slower than Bobby was Discovery Channel's George Hincapie, who was most thankful just to be finished with such a violent effort. "I'm glad to have that over with. For three kilometers, an effort like that -- you can't really train for it. It hurts a lot... extremely brutal." Hincapie chose to ride a road bike with aero bars because of the steep climb, as did his teammate Tom Danielson. "I ran a regular road bike -- we did a little wind tunnel testing and both have similar drag coefficients," Danielson explained.
