Don't mean to belittle Josh's awesome finish, or any of the other riders who flatted, but why not just ride it in? I have had many flats where I was just too lazy to change it and rode it home. One time I even managed a rear flat (my third of the day) for almost 40 miles and to top it of flatted the front with 10 miles to go. I can understand not wanting to ride a clincher that is flat as they do get a little wobbly (and the tandems might be a bit scary), but if you are doing the TT on a tubular, those actually ride pretty well when flat. It is not that hard to do close to 20 mph with a flat if you pay attention and slow up for the corners. Regardless it is much faster than running it in. So what is the reason for not just riding a flat in, especially near the end of a TT? Just another stupid bike racer question. Jamie |
