I was watching a load of footage of Jan Ullrich recently, and in at least half of it, where he's in the vicinity of Lance Armstrong, Jan is pedalling faster. I knew this already, but it always makes me laugh in light of the internet-wisdom of Jan=masher, Lance=spinner.
The same way that someone will have reported Lance Armstrong's cadence as being 110rpm at some point during a TT, and then a game of Chinese whispers begins, and suddenly thousands of American (and regrettably, British) 'experts' are saying how it's *essential to climb at 110rpm like Lance*.
It's another one of those days when I wake up and remember how much I hate almost everyone :(
