10 secs faster than Tony... not normal obviously

The entire event (IM) is like "death by 1000 cuts" and the best race is minimizing all those cuts and losing less blood than the other guy. - Dev

Without taking acceleration at turns into account the model has the following. Can assume about 2-4 seconds added for any turns with a bit of a slowdown.

549 PARAMETER TotalHours = 0.605
---- 549 Display 0.000 0.437 SECS 32 MB
---- 552 Assignment Hour 0.000 0.437 SECS 32 MB 0
---- 553 Assignment Min 0.000 0.437 SECS 32 MB 0
---- 554 Assignment Seconds 0.000 0.437 SECS 32 MB 0


---- 555 PARAMETER Hour = 0.000
PARAMETER Min = 36.000
PARAMETER Seconds = 18.050

So would Chris Froome have lost that 12 seconds in the last 10km (crosswinds) if he didn't use the H3?

We I think that pretty much went to form. Que the doubters and their "sandbagging" comments.

Heh, I knew someone would bring that up. I think he doesn't lose that 12 seconds if he isn't a beanpole. Early part of the course favored Froome, back half favored Martin.

That's a good point... I used yaw data from a deep wheel in the model. Need to update for Hed 3 will be interesting to see difference in the strong crosswind.

the H3 is good at very low and very high yaw, remember.

but no, not 12 seconds of difference in any scenario

Another quite dominant performance. Reckon the GC guys will lose even more time on Sunday up Ventoux. Nothing very challenging early i nthat stage for the other teams to try to isolate Froome so the Sky mountain train will be a-chugging, presumably. He doesn't even need more time. He'll probably win the last week's TT and he can ride pure defense in everything else. The last week is super mountainous, so I suppose we could be in for some excitement there, but it'll take days worth of great riding from the other teams and pretty much a total failure of Sky. Everybody else will be talking about stage wins now...woooooo....</pink>

Maybe it will be shades of 2006 and super exciting.

Guys you have short memories!

Definitely true- but the odds of him having THAT bad a day are decreasing. I'm looking forward to what movistar can do, with Valverde and Quintana trading up attacks it could get interesting. Belkin have got guys there too. They've just got to attack, attack, attack.

Anything could happen though, so I'm crossing my fingers, as that last week just looks horrendous.

Omega Pharma-Quick Step said they would not take further action after Mark Cavendish had urine thrown at him by a spectator during today's time trial in the Tour de France.

If I had to take a guess. I'd say it was Tyler Farrar that threw that urine on him

Nah. This has Haussler written all over it.

I guess Cav should not have caused the crash then. He can expect more of the same the rest of the way.

OMFG let it go. I rewatched this frame by frame last night. Veelers clearly drifted a good 3-4 feet to his right after letting off the gas. There's a lane line that makes this easy as hell to see.

A fully doped up Lance may be the only rider in history capable of being competitive.

Tomorrow I have the day off of work. So my plan is to train early. And watch the tour.

Why do I point that out? Because I plan on drinking everytime Phil Liggett makes a mistake! The rules are simple:

Drink when Phil screws up. Drink when he refers to the wrong rider. Drink when he calls someone the wrong name. Drink when he calls the wrong order of finishers, or the wrong order of intermediate sprints/KOM points.

I am gonna be shitfaced. Anybody else in?

You will be smashed. Sounds like fun. If I didn't have to work and wasn't racing NYC this weekend I'd play that game. At least I'd try until I passed out.
