  1. This may be a stupid question, but if the wind tunnel training is so
    beneficial "contre la montre" (as we see with Leipheimer) why don't
    more cyclists get into it?
    I also wonder how many of the Tour's favourites have used it this year.
    I know Heras could use it badly even though his climbing doesn't seem
    to be going to good anyway. At least he could improve his TT. Axel also
    could improve in this manner

    Looking at the clips on DSF of Ulrich preparing for today's Tour de
    Suisse stage - he prefers to work on his position on a velodrome.
    He also looked very strong on the road today.
    All the best

  3. More cyclists don't get into it (i.e., wind tunnel training) because it
    costs a [censored] load of money.

    *Didn't* US Postal send Heras to some wind tunnell sessions when Heras
    was on their team? I thought it was in the cycling press several years
    back.
