Default Giro TTT question.

Slipstream took time out of CSC, Barloworld, Astana, and Liquigas
on the latter portion of the TTT course. Anybody offer reasons?
Better TTT discipline? Resource management?

Does wearing an ice vest help keep your pedal strokes synchronized?

Not if you add too much alcohol to the ice.

clean!

My theory is they rode faster,

Millar got dropped near the end. So the Blue Cooler Line
is still in play.
