The Elite Men's Team Time Trial seems to be building to a cresendo. As each team reached the first time check, it felt like they set a new best time. So it was with Katusha. Natually, there were some exceptions to the building (or actually diminishing times), but Katusha was one who held onto their advantage as they race back on to the Pearl on the coastline of Doha. It also felt like the men, having started a bit later in the day, seemed to be suffering less in the desert heat. Although I imagine that those who were dropped by their teammates out on course who disagree with me.
