	Cycle Time trialist @ Sport.y2u.co.uk
		A time trialist is a road bicycle racer who can maintain extreme speeds for long periods of time, to maximize performance during individual or team time trials.
		In a traditional individual time trial, riders set off alone (not in a group or peloton) at intervals, typically anything from one to five minutes, and try to complete the course in as short a time as possible.
		In order to maximize the overall speed a time trialist must be able to maintain a steady effort throughout the event, of which the best measure is believed to be the rider's power at lactate threshold (LT) or aerobic threshold (AT).

		Time trials are races of variable length (from a few miles to 50+) which are done on individual effort (ie, no peloton = no drafting).
		Collegiate time trials will usually be 10-20 miles in length a sustained effort of 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the course, length and rider.
		For shorter time trials, you'll shoot for 100% to begin with, and by halfway you should be up and over it until the finish (yes, you probably haven't gone hard enough if you didn't feel like puking at least a couple of times).

		He doesn't have the reputation of being a good time trialist, but in the past he has shown that when his form is good and he is fighting for the Pink Jersey, he can smoke most everyone in the race against the clock.
		He is the strongest man in the race, and brutal mountain stages like today have a tendency to sap the legs of the time trial specialists and diminish their advantage over the pure climbers.
		However, Casagrande is a terrible time trialist who will lose chunks of time tomorrow to most of his rivals.

		Time trial bikes use super-narrow tubular tires that are pumped up to as much as 150 lbs.
		So time trial bikes use wind tunnel-tested bars that put the cyclist in a lower, more compact and extended position that slashes through the wind.
		Next to the wheels, the time trial frame is the most clearly specialized feature of a TT bike.

		With all things equal, Vino should be expected to lose about 2 to 2.5 times as much time in the longer time trial or about 2 to 2.5 minutes, which is very large.
		So Alcala focused on improving his time trialing, became the best time trialist in the world, and began losing from 3 to 5 minutes on the top climbs.
		Plus at least some of the GC teams are going to want to save their legs for the next day's team time trial to keep from losing too much time.

		Millar, 23, set the fast time early in the race against the clock, and by the time Armstrong started in the No. 1 bib, no one could match the winning time of 19 minutes, 3 seconds.
		You have to be good to beat Armstrong in time trials, when riders head out on the course one at a time.
		Jan Ullrich, a Tour winner in 1997, was fourth, 14 seconds off Millar's time, and Alex Zulle, a Swiss rider second to Armstrong last year, was 20 ticks off the winning time.

		It would have been an interesting fight, I was perhaps better time trialist and he better climber, it would have been a great fight, no doubt.
		Given the benefit of time travel, the TdF duel I would like to see is Merckx in his prime -- but racing the same busy schedule as he always did -- vs. Armstrong after his typical slow build-up to be in peak physical condition for only three weeks in July.
		He was asked one time to stay away from the race because of the Anti-Merckx feelings in France that time.

		A time trialist must make sacrifices in comfort, but they will spend a relatively short period of time on the bike.
		Consider how much time you will be spending on your bicycle, what type of competition you will be involved in, and at what intensity you will be cycling.
		For time trialists and triathletes aerodynamic positioning is key as up to 80% of cycling resistance comes from aerodynamic drag.

		A fit and fresh time trialist should be able to ride at 92% (+/— 2%) of maximum heart rate for up to 1 hour, and slightly higher for shorter events.
		Having an accurate race time on your watch is an important double check to ensure the officials have calculated your time correctly.
		Time trials are often the deciding factors in stage races and Omnium events and therefore need to be taken seriously in planning your training.

		Second, you have to assume that you will lose the same time in the second time trial as you did in the first and possibly even more time.
		This means that Lance had to go into today's race with the understanding that he couldn't lose any time to Ullrich and actually had to put at least 1.5 minutes into him in the mountains to have a chance at winning the Tour.
		Now he must (1) not lose any more time to Ullrich in the mountains and (2) must gain at least 2 minutes on Ullrich or he will probably lose the Tour in the time trial.

		But it was his convincing time trial victory in a thunderstorm in Cordoba that enabled him to come to within one second of the gold jersey, behind team mate Sevilla, and gain almost two minutes advantage over Roberto Heras.
		Following Heras and Oscar Sevilla, Gonzalez, who was born in the Basque region, but whose family moved to the province of Alicante when he was a child, is the latest rider to be "discovered" by the Kelme team in recent years.
		Alicante, where Gonzalez's father runs a chicken farm, is also the region of Spain where sportswear company Kelme have their headquarters, and the team were therefore interested in signing the young time trialist from the area.
