This. I literally can't tell what I am seeing with Seixas. I simply cannot judge at all just how good he is going to be for the rest of this year in races where he comes up against Pog, Vingegaard, Remco etc. I just don't feel confident trying to guess where his limits might be - he's just been so good so far!!
This is better than Valverde and Alaphilippe's performance because they just sprinted.
Steady pacing is more important than "drafting" on a 16,% climb
Yes, but Valverde and Alaphilippe didn't usually make any effort until the final sprint.
Gilbert let up a bit near the line he was so comfortably in front that year.
Which isn‘t good for setting a good time
He basically did what Roglic did in 2021 only slower and did not have monsters like Ala and Valv in the race.
True, but I was talking about performance, and Seixas's seemed more impressive to me because his energy expenditure on the climb was higher.
Coulda would shoulda... Or are you going to say Ben tullet is better than piti, pogacar, and most of this honor roll?
In fact ment as a pun, but just watched the final and much longer drag race than I would've expected with young man against the rest.
