Do you believe his theory why people TT faster when the roads are wet?

There is slightly less rolling resistance when the road is wet. It's a
fact.

Enlighten us.

Ever see ice skating? Well, the only reason they glide along the ice is
because of water.

Likewise, water will decrease the rolling resistence of the tire on the
road. But since a cyclist is not gliding over the road, the benefit is
much less.

Watch out, if you keep trying to guide your students to
