Rain Saturday & Sunday favors Ullrich

Except that Jan has to make it around the wet course 66 seconds faster than Lance. Advantage Lance.

In my opinion, rain Saturday for the TT greatly favors Ullrich's in-the-seat, higher gear, lower
RPM, properly distributed weight on the bike riding style and hurts Armstrong with his out-of-the
seat, lower gear, higher RPM, poorly distribution weight riding style. Armstrong's riding style
and manic pedal aggression on the slick streets could easily put him on his butt for the 3rd time.
I didn't think Ullrich had a chance to beat Armstrong, but with rain both Saturday, and for the
finish Sunday, a major upset could brewing. Either way it has been a great race this year!

Maybe he'll channel the pre-cancer Lance of 1993:

What is the huge, obvious thing you are forgetting?

Rain=Cooler weather.

Cooler weather=non-dehydrated, overheating Armstrong.

If there is rain, there will be wind coming onshore off the ocean. Wind will make all of times much
closer to each others.
