    How ahead of time was Lemond? This is 1989 and his helmet looks almost identical to the helmet Bradley Wiggins wore in this years Paris - Nice.

    It turns out the helmet didn't really help him.

    In an interview I watched of Greg, he admitted the helmet hadn't been well enough tested. When testing that shape after the Tour in a wind tunnel, they discovered it was acting like a parachute every time he put his head down.

    The bars, and Fignon's saddle sores were the important factors.

    Who thinks it would have been closer without lemonds helmet? Drag is everything. I guess now we know why TT bikes have all the extra stuff.

    8 Secs. That's the closest "winning"margin in TDF history.

    It was a short time trial, and one of the easiest, most downhill ever. List about 250 ft over 11 miles with a tailwind that day
