TD's greatest strength lies in TT type efforts, i.e. a single
sustained effort without a changing pace.
He has numerous hill climb records, official and unofficial,

Unofficial records? Sweet. I'm hoping he'll set some more over this

Some people may have taken his Vuelta stage win and successive Vuelta

let's face it: TD isn't even half a hincapie. even big georgie could
pull out a gent-wevelgem every now and then ...

TD should come back to the states for a few years (a la Horner) until
