Usually it's a 5-10 KM TT though. Guys will be out for the kill, not just putting on a show. Remember Greg LeMond vs. Laurent Fignon, '89? That final stage was about the same I recall. Maybe less...I remember is as 16 KM. The difference in that gap may have been technology alone, but it does show what can happen with 4x the road as a typical TT.

We'll see...but it is a different twist to the prologue.

Armstrong rides Trek, spends early spring before training camp in France.

A top 3 Yank Prologue? Balsy...
