Tour riders opt for chemical assistance…

The uphill time trial – from Bourg d´Oisans to Alpe D’Huez – features 21 bends, climbing to 1130 metres.

Jan Ullrich from T-Mobile and Tyler Hamilton from Team Phonak Hearing Systems will ride the TT with light-weight hand-made tyres treated for hours with Conti’s special tuning liquid.

"The interplay of fluid with the tread pattern concept leads to a clear improvement in rolling resistance," claims Continental.

"A field study with the T-Mobile team demonstrated that the tyre’s rolling resistance dropped by 15 percent thanks to the chemical after-treatment."
