Some of us know, others think so!

I guess I have to ruin this reply with some FACTS.

*********FACTS ON***********
Several of my friends have ridden the Giro D'Italia and
have witnessed Mr. Moser being pushed up the hill in short
bursts by spectators.  They have also seen members of his team
physically restrain other riders while climbing.
********FACTS OFF***********

Hey, look.  I am not saying that your idol, Frankie
Moser, isn't a great bike racer heck, the guy won
a World Championship and 3 Paris Roubaixs, etc.
However, its pretty clear to myself and a few other bike
persons that his hour record is TAINTED by the use
of Aerodynamic wheels, which BTW make a very big difference.
Moser only broke the record by about 2% and I bet the
Aerodynamic wheels were greater than a 2% advantage.
If the wheels didn't make that much difference then why 
did he use them?
