That is really what I meant. I thought both positions are valid and that is what I tried to say. My words were: "I'm sure both of you have had instances where skill wasn't enough if the luck was bad enough or the luck was so bad that skill did not matter." Lance is the perfect example it has been luck and skill. However I have to side with Fly on his wheel choice. I bet many a person knowing what part aerodynamics play on speed, the course length, virtually no turns, no hills and a high skill level it would make a difference. A similar course that was a time trial you would see disc wheels all over in the pro ranks. I suspect that if more people owned one or thought of it he would not have been alone. Don't forget his words...he won "handily." I suspect he knows his competition and in turns knows that it did make a difference. The greatest thing we overcome in getting down the road is air resistance...road is a distant second. That is why a team is so important in a sprint finish. Post Extras
