OK for Millar though!
Personally I wish they'd ditch the procession on the Champs-Elysees and have something like the
LeMond/Fignon finale of 1989. -

That doesn't make it much clearer, the last time there was a Mountain TT Armstrong beat Ullrich. In
addition Armstrong has only been beaten once by Ullrich in an individual TT.Graham

mountain bike......"Zog The Undeniable" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

Excuse my rookie-hood but is there not normally a TT on the penultimate day? Was that just this year?

this year?nah, not common at all, seemed to have made 'a bit of a comeback' recently- I view them as a bit
pointless but a fun spectacle, it tends to be the mountains that sort the big boys out- TTs in the
first 2 weeks can make life interesting, but make them over 50 miles so the gaps actually mean
something. The Team TT is a total waste of time but my favourite stage cos the riders look fantastic
when strung out in a line working hard. The crashes can be a bit more comical in Team TTs too! -

3 days in the massif central? Going to La mongie?
I don't suppose the other day in the pyrenees and 2.5 days in the alps will be too flat either!

from 89 (? the lemond/fignon one). So is 15 odd years recently?cheers, clive

The Giro and Vulta have both done this recently though ISTR.
It's very unusal to not have a TT in the first week though - anyone know the last time this was
done? Also they have limited the maximum time loss in the team TT - this gives a big helping had to
Iban Mayo and whatshisnametheotherbasque in Eustekia which always loses lots of time in the team TT.Interesting.....
