The boys from the U.S. showed the world how to TT today at the Dauphiné Libéré.
U.S took the top FOUR spots with Zabriskie leading the way with a 52’48 on a 43km course (that’s 30.36mph). Following him was Landis, Leipheimer, and Hincapie.
Too bad Ullrich is using the Tour de Suisse as his final TdF tuneup, would have been great to see him racing that bunch, oh well TdF is just around the corner.

TTs. Climbing Hills. A good case can be made that the U.S. is now producing the best cyclists in the world.

3 or more Americans in the top 10 at the TdF? It's not only possible, it might be likely!

30 mph over 26.7 miles is flying and that is on a flat course.
The article in the velonews gives you a good picture of each of their aero-positions. Landis with his funky (but effective) praying-mantis style. Zabraskie..well... he has one of the cleanest lines in all of TT cycling.
