Armstrong will be using the race to test out a new bike and a new position, which he has been developing in the Seattle wind tunnel. “It’s a more aerodynamic position, lower and more forward,” added Bruyneel. “The best test is racing and there are not many time trials this year where we can do these tests. The objective is not to win now, but to try out new things.” (From www.cyclingnews.com today)
Interesting! More forward? Nice. . . Should fuel the rumor mill for the next 5 months.
