Francois, you are telling me that the man hammered the peloton riding his bike with running shoes ? So basically Waldo hammers some of the best riders in the world by "pushing down' only. As a PC rider, trying to improve my entire pedal stroke, I must admit that this gives our friendly Rip Van Winkle a lot of cannon fodder for his hypothesis that "pulling up and around" is highly overrated and you may as well just let the quads go the work !

56:11 bike split for Waldo. Next best 57:52.

Sick!

Forget what he was wearing for shoes....... What I want to know is if he had straight aero bars everyone is talking about lately???


All kidding aside, I had a guy next to me in a crit once(that had a steep power climb too), he was wearing his "top-sider's" deck shoes. He placed in the top 10!!!!! out of about 100 cat 3's!?!?!?!?
