Only if they already call you the "The Professor."

Actually, that is the tour Fignon lost to Lemond by 8 seconds. Lemond used aerobars and Fignon did not. He also used an aero helmet and Fignon used a pony tail. Calculations estimate if he had used an aero helmet in that time trial it would have made about the 8 seconds difference he lost by. So you don't want to emulate Fignon.
If you haven't read Fignon's book, you owe it to yourself. Very good book. |

"It was calculated afterwards that if Fignon had cut off his ponytail, he would have reduced his drag that much that he would have won the Tour. " I also heard this was when Lemond used the coca cola shim! Thanks for the rec. |
Coke can shims have seen a lot of duty

I think Lemond would have won even if he was equipped just like Fignon. |
Or if he had the "B-12" shots that LeMond had injected in his butt. ;)
(in other words, Fignon would have won if lemond didn't cheat) |

So you're saying I would win the tour if I got a new helmet and attached pony tails to everyone else's helmet? I think I just figured out what to do with all that hair Liz leaves in the shower...
