Into the First Corner
Like Tony Martin's (OPQS) domination on the World Stage, Sylvain Chavanel (IAM Cycling) has dominated the French Time Trial Championships for three years running. So it is with pride that he rolls out of the start house and into the first corner of the 54 kilometer race against the clock. The Frenchman pushed as hard as he could into the first sharp right turn of the course that remained technical through out the city of Bergerac. Once out of town Chavanel and the rest of the field could get into their aerodynamic tuck and settle into their rhythm for the hour plus all out effort to Perigreux.
