Floyd Landis, Tour of California Time Trial
What fast looks like standing still.
Floyd Landis won Stage 3 of the Tour of California this afternoon by blowing away the field in a time trial. On this particular stretch of road he faced a heavy headwind that miraculously cleared for the riders who followed him.
Two things to note; Landis spent time in a wind tunnel in the off-season, perfecting his position. Plus, when you're going really fast, you tend to inch forward on the saddle to get more power, as Landis has here.
