Giro TTT question.

[Michael Press]

Slipstream took time out of CSC, Barloworld, Astana, and Liquigas
on the latter portion of the TTT course. Anybody offer reasons?
Better TTT discipline? Resource management?

Millar Line.

Indeed, this of course means, shockingly, that the entire bloody Giro is
clean!

My theory is they rode faster,
