    Very cool. A friend of mine (Todd Wells) was racing for Target Training in that race.

    TT or road? I may have some pix of him if he's interested...

    I think he only raced road. He's actually a top Mountian Bike pro and the reigning cyclocross national champ. He races a few road races each year for Target Training as his coach runs that team. He'd flown in from New Zealand from the World Cup race and then was on to Austria for another so I doubt he had time to race the TT.

    Thanks! I also got a kick out of the fact that you can see his hands/bars in the other lens...

    Great Pics. It was good to see Hincapie's bike stay together for the win. I guess the lack of cobblestones helps that though.
