was within view (especially any vehicles following him) most of the time
up the climb yesterday, particularly after they rode above the tree
line. But from the view of the cameras, the groups appeared to be
completely isolated.

25 kph is 6.9 meters per second. At 42 seconds (not sure if that is raw
time or with time bonus added) behind at the top, that is only about a
290 meter gap.

290 m is a moderately long rifle shot, and a small target.

290m is less than a single lap at most US bicycle tracks.

OK, well its a short rifle shot if you are shooting across the
infield. Try to miss the officials when you do so - unless its turkey
season...

WTF?

You gripe about Bos referencing a keirin in a comment he made about a race,
but you reference a rifle shot in regard to time/distance gaps of a bike
race?

I was addressing the apparent size of a rider at 290 m.
Don't make me quote the trigonometry.

Press is talking about the cycling biathlon, which is
slated to be introduced to the Summer Olympics on
a trial basis. I expect good results from the Afghan
and Chinese teams.

Nothing? It has to do with what a chaser may or may not see.
