Brägel dreams of it, Lance Armstrong has managed it on occasion, and you certainly wouldn't mind. The competitors are lined up, the starting shot is fired - but you alone have the perfect day and break away from the field at kilometre 40, no opponent can follow. Minute by minute, your lead grows and after 180 kilometres you reach the finish more than 20 minutes ahead of the runner-up. This beautiful dream usually ends when the alarm clock rings in the morning.
Not so for Normann Stadler, who smashed the competition at the Ironman in Hawaii in October. It took the German around 4:38 hours to complete the bike course, which equated to an average speed of almost 39 kilometres per hour. This requires not only good legs, but also equipment that can cope with the speed. Reason enough to take a closer look at Stadler's bike.
