Look at this time trial
With heartless grades of up to 24%, the winner averaged 19.1 mph!
http://pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=fullst...28&status=True I was bemoaning my plodding up a 6% grade today at 12 mph. Geeze.

Looking at that profile I think I would have a hard time WALKING up the course, let alone rising and I am not sure if any of my cars could even make it up there at 20 mph. This is truly an amazing spectacle.
Btw, Astana is making the Tour d F look less and less relevant. If Contador wins the Giro, The tour will be well on its way to becoming a French race and not a world event. STupid French are gonig to get what they thoufght they wanted.
