This makes sense to me. I'd hate to see them put in a lot of unaided

It occurs to me that few breaks could stay (far) away from D.
Zabriskie, especially if he has any help.


Are you saying that you believe that Zabriskie could chase down a well
functioning break single handed?

Today's result notwithstanding, that's an awfully bold claim.

Bold but not impossible. He single-handedly held off the chasing field
in the Vuelta last year, albeit given a huge gap. Alone on an aero bike,
he averages well over 30 mph. Yes, a determined, strong chase or
breakaway can go faster, but it's remarkable what a strong TT rider can
do to a gap.
