I was at IM China this year and the village roads were immaculate on race day. Seriously, I couldn't believe the transformation! Looked like they had been scrubbed clean.

Maybe you can get an about the wheel stuff by looking at the pics of the racers here.

At 8:14am on July 31, 2008, Vadim said…: Dear Ironmen,
can somebody who completed the IM China 2008 tell how dirty are the roads in the village section of the bike course ?
I mean could it be a reason to replace the regular wheel set (ZIPP) with something stronger (but not aerodynamic) ? My weight is about 80 kilo.
Thanks!
