Fabian Cancellara's final TT stage win at the 2009 Tour de Suisse. He DECIMATED the field with this TT ride. If anyone knows where I can find the DVD of this Tour, I would be grateful. Here is a Youtube summary:

how about that stage in the tour where he tt'd the final few k's or so only a few hundred meters in front of the field and won the "spint" sitting down?

agreed, the guy's AWESOME.

What's the rule in TTs for passing someone? Is there a certain radius you must maintain?

I watched the link in the original post. Wow, talk about a lot of road furniture! He's darting through all kinds of very tight spaces. Can't imagine the number of crashes there could've been if it was rainy that day. Crazy. I'd be totally freaked out riding that course at speed.
