  1. I checked and it appears that the forecast is for rain tomorrow. Does anyone know whether the course
    has a lot of turns? And whether it has been hot and dry up until now? Here, if we have a long hot
    dry spell and then rain, the road can get really slick.

  2. Just speculation here:

    In the mountains, Lance has always seemed to do well in wet conditions and Jan has not liked them.
    But whether or not that translates to the TT is a question.

    One thing's for sure, it'll make it alot harder for Jan to let it all hang out.

    It said on cyclingnews.com that Marcel Wust checked out the course. He said that there are only 2
    corners which require braking. I imagine that this number will increase with rain. How much?... I
    have no idea.

    ps. Forcast calls for a big tail wind also.

    Why do I have visions of my man Jan sliding out of one of those corners at a ridiculous speed when
    he's about 1'20" up on Lance who's riding smart? Bill C
