  1. Hi all, while watching/listening to Phil and Paul, I'm also looking at the
    Tour website for the gaps and newsflashes (
    http://www.letour.fr/2007/TDF/LIVE/us/1500/index.html ) . On the graphic of
    the real-time gaps between the lead group(s) and the Yellow Jersey group
    and/or the following peloton or other trailing groups, I understand what
    they show as 'absolute' time between the first group and the Yellow Jersey
    or other groups/peloton, but I do not understand the time splits when they
    depict them as 'relative' on the same graphic. On the 'relative' graphic it
    appears that there's a 17 hour time gap ? I know my description doesn't
    properly explain what I'm babbling about so I've linked to examples from
    Stage 11 and Stage 15
    (http://s57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/retransmitted/ ). Any explanation
    of 'relative' will be most appreciated. Thanks.

  2. OK - obviously I scared everyone off because the hyperlink wasn't properly
    defined. Here they are again as jpg's:

    and
    http://s57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/retransmitted/?action=view&current=relative1.jpg
    .. Would someone please explain the 17 hr:** min:**sec relative gap meaning.
    Thanks again.

    You might want to ask this over in rec.bicycles.racing.

  4. Jim, Appreciate the suggestion. My Charter Cable newsgroups don't offer rb
    racing so I posted thru Google. Now to enjoy my rest day!
