Ayuso isn't overrated
NoSo Ayuso sitting up to celebrate a few days ago potentially cost him
Which only makes sense. It shouldn't surprise anyone that a climber profits more from a hilly TT than a rider who is great on a flat TT too. I don't think Evenepoel is necessarily "worse" at this kind of effort, but he has less of an advantage over other gc riders.How much more proof do we need that vs other GC contenders Evenepoel doesn't like a hilly, technical 45-48 kph average TT
the 1st 17km Evenepoel will be able to take time on Skjelmose and Ayuso. but the last 8.7km I see Evenepoel losing time. 1.6km 8.2% and then another km 3-4% with then 4km of descent.
You think suddenly Evenepoel can't do hilly climbs anymore during a TT? This is a completely different matter as in a normal stage, where riders get to save energy behind other riders. Now Skjelmose and Ayuso also have to go balls out from the start, so they might very well lose additional time on the climbs.
This TT was about as good as these sort of TTs get I'm not sure what you were hoping for.
