Praying Landis

Nice move by the UCI, telling Floyd to change the angle of his
aero bars just before the start. Correct me if I'm wrong... This
is the same configuration he's been racing with all year long in
UCI races (including the TdF prologue). Just doesn't seem right
to do that to somebody.

What was the reason the the UCI compelled Floyd to change the ange of
his bars? Were they in such a position as to give an unfair advantage?

Thanks for the information...

What's your take on the Tour so far....

I think his team does not want him in yellow this early so they mess
with his bike to slow him down. First the prolouge, and now this. We
will see what happens next week.
Go Floyd!
