I am actually bummed he didn't win, but that 20 minute effort might have compromised his run enough that he was caught.

The Hawi descent probably doesn't get as much credit as it should for paying a key role in the race. I seem to remember Kienle's Tony Martin-esque, decent of Hawi is what put him out front for good the year he won. It is a long descent and you can open a huge gap by going 60 rather than 40 mph.

I get the commentating was a little fake, but that was Kevin Mackinnon. One of the best in the business. So, you weren't going to get much better than that. Maybe our own Steve Fleck. :>

This is exactly how every fit session should be done (tunnel or otherwise). It doesn't really make much sense optimizing you fit/aero when you're body is fresh. You'll never be fresh in a race.

Thanks, Syd. Working on it! :)

Met with the Producers again recently. They are working on some interesting things. Can't say much more.

. . and Lionel, he just keeps racing . . and winning! :)
