It must be so, so demoralizing for a pro to race in situations like this. One rider just torching everyone, and his team so apparently strong they can smother everything with ease.

I remember in the 90s being in race situations that were somewhat similar. Where somebody would just take off and even though we would try as hard as we could, in team pursuit manner, we were getting dropped hard. Eventually, we just gave up.
