"Claude Criquielion, one of the Lotto-Domo team directors, is concerned
that Robbie McEwen could be eliminated during tomorrow's Alpe d'Huez
time trial. With the time limit set at 33% and a winning time for the
15.5 km uphill test expected to be around 40 minutes, McEwen will have
to finish within 13 minutes of the victor. "That means that he will
have to give full gas from the first metres," said Criquielion. "
what about the train-intersection stop where 80% of the field finished
35 minutes behind :-)
That's the 25% rule isn't it? ie. they will not eliminate riders if 25%
of the total riders are below the 33% winning time cut off.
