So Skjelmose did the climb 3.5 secs faster than Powless, but lost it on the flat.
yep, here's a bit better visualization of it:

It is all in here (at the end somewhere): http://www.votrecourse.com/medias/resultats/20230205-41405_Etape 5.pdf
I really wonder what the exact time gaps where, as I see here Powless had 15'46"97.
Normally, that would be rounded to 15'47"
But I see Powless at 21 seconds of Pedersen (who had 15'25"22), while this should be 22 seconds.
Skjelmose was at 26 seconds, and the gap before the TT was 4 seconds.
So where does the 1 second difference come from?
I would guess they should be placed in the same second, but probably with Powless having a margin (of less than a second) over Skjelmose, and they gave him the second to avoid confusion?

slowest on the climb was Adamietz, by the way, more than 2 minutes down - and therefor also missed the time cut. Must have had a mechanical, I guess?
And times in cycling are never rounded, 15:46.97 is still 15:46. Skjelmose lost by 0.79s (edit: corrected)
but even then, it should be a difference of 0.35 (at least, that is what I calculate based on the video above of Powless + the results of Skjelmose, ofcourse, the result of Powless was adjusted later to 0.5 (instead of 0.95), so the difference grew to 0.7, which is, rounded, a full second)
I learned something new, thanks. I thought they were rounded like in science: 0.5 = 1 second, 0.49 = 0 seconds.
I made a mistake up there, though. He lost by 0.79s in fact.
- Powless 11h12'30''52
- Skjelmose 11h12'31''31
Uaaah, that hurts… :-( Adamietz is a great, nice, friendly guy, so I cheer for him.
His race start at Lotto however was difficult. He won as teammate to de Lie already, but his own results these last eight days were certainly not as they hoped:
Johannes Adamietz
Johannes Adamietz (born 1998-05-24 in Ulm) is a professional road racing cyclist from Germany, currently riding for Lotto Dstny. His best results are 7th place in GC Sibiu Cycling Tour and 6th place in GC Tour du Jura Cycliste.

But by the way: he reached the finish town of every race he rode!
(His OTL at the Etoile happened on the last stage!… )I still cheer for him - even more so, now!…
Really enjoyed the climb of Mont Bouquet..... Maybe the Tour will visit the likes of these climbs some day!
Rather not when it so associated with this race. Part of its identity.
Good point indeed, but I don't believe any race should have sole 'ownership' of a climb.
Plus, it's not as if the climb is enshrined in the race's history. It's only been used since 2020.
The Grand Tour's often use climbs from the classics like the Cauberg and Mur de Huy. Or climbs from Paris-Nice or the Dauphine.
