If you watch the videos of the instances where a big gap quickly opened up it looks like the competitors were either extremely tired or not wanting to take up the chase. Most to the time they sort of sat up a little. I can't imagine how difficult it is to try to catch up to a world-class time trial specialist who speeds up to "do their thing" many kilometers from the finish.
Who knows. Maybe someday someone will make a deathbed confession. To be honest I'm still shell-shocked that Armstrong and his team where almost all doping, so in my mind being naive is more of a necessary self-preservation of my idealization of the cycling sport as a whole.
You have to admit, it was pretty amazing watching Fabian at his best.
