Paul MD: How much time do you reckon you were stopped for puncture + food?

Hi,

Last week I had a lot of difficulties with riding at IF 0.90 uphill, I will start a new topic about it tomorrow. When my job and my girlfriend allows it, I will do La Marmotte next year again!!
Re above. Post here http://andrewbye.blogspot.com/2008/07/and-now-for-some-numbers.html is interesting.

Andrew finished in top 10 and one reason for that is I reckon he did each of the climbs at an IF at or above 0.9.

Bjarne Said after the stage that the head wind at the top where to strong for a single rider to make it... So they descided to stay in the pack and wait for tomorrow.
