he avged around 33-34 MPH for that TT; but it did have some uphill sections which may have slowed him some. I know the world record for time trial is eddy merckx and then beaten by chris boardman ( i think ) and thats around 48 - 50 miles in a hour on a circular track.
They could monitor the riders with cameras 24/7. Like little chips. Chip the riders yeaH! Lets see him ride 40K in 48 minutes with a chip on him 24/7, 365 days. Okay I dont want to pick on him, the dude in 189th place is doing the same stuff. Be nice guys, Levi just got lucky with his place of birth, his genetics, and his errr, money... You dont think the DFL is on drugs, then you dont know your sport.
There are a lot of non-professional, non-doped riders that can ride a 40K in under 50 minutes. If you're a serious rider and can't, then I'd train a little harder, you'll get there. I'm not saying the riders aren't doped though.
I'd see a bigger chance of Levi winning this TDF than Conti, but those french won't let him ride!! ARRRRGHHHH! LET LEVI RIDE!!! HE EARNED IT!! NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY DOPING CASE!!This is not fair!! He's the peoples champion and the best all-rounder at present!
it was about 50m probably ha. not very long..but that was a while ago. i topped off at 35 in a sprint at a local crit last night actually. we had a pretty nice tailwind goin gon too which helped a lot!
Levi is the best in time trial But he must train in highmountain so he bet them all...go Levi! we want you to win this 2011 Tour De France!

Why in his dreams? He means the time trial, not the Tour. Cancellara is a beter time trial specialist then Contador.

I don´t think Cadel Evans is 100% clean but I think he is the cleanest of them all. I prefer Contdor but you can clearly see that he is on drugs.

it's interesting that in 2007 and 2008 two spanish climbers had to ride the TT of their lives to hold onto the yellow jersey. And they suceeded.

boardman did a 55km/h tt in the tour de france 93 or 94, i think. the fastest so far but he probably was super high on epo.
rbonilla18 3 years ago
That was a 7.2km prologue, not a 50+km time trial. Boardman EPO? Nah that was the Euros.

The 2007 started with a 7.9km prologue, but stage 19, the one this video referred to, was a 55.5km TT,Cognac - Angoulême.

35 isnt very fast man; i've easily topped 40 for substatined distances several times.

yah thats crazy fast, I train 4+ hours a day and I'm averaging 40km/h on an 18.2km course, so 10-15km faster than that? I couldnt even imagine that
