GPS to measure time/speed/distance in TDF?
How are they are able to pin-point the time/speed/distance
so accurately for the peloton to catch the leading group by using a GPS while they're moving? Is the frame frozen monetarily while it takes a reading? Is terrain also a factor, (climbs and descents)? -tom |

I can do a better job from my couch in front of the TV than that. All I need to do is to check the clock when the breakout passes a place and check the clock again when the Peloton passes the same place. Besides. What are those little boxes on just about everybodys left chainstay? Isn't that some kind of positioning device? -- Perre You have to be smarter than a robot to reply. |
