So even though I'm on vacation away from a TV, I'm still checking in on how Lance and his team are doing in the Tour.... Check this out, from the official website: http://www.letour.fr/2005/TDF/LIVE/us/400/index.html
Record Average Speed For Discovery Channel
The Discovery Channel team has set the fastest average speed for a team time trial in the Tour de France. The nine riders finished the 67.5km course in one hour, 10 minutes and 39 seconds. The average speed is 57.31km/h - eclipsing the previous best (that of Gewiss-Ballan from 1995 - 54.930km/h).
That's 35.61 MILES PER HOUR ON A BICYCLE!
GO LANCE & CO.!!!
(does it seem ironic to anyone else that a professional cyclist, whose legs are his livelihood, is named Armstrong?)
