As a huge Remco fanboy, a fairly large MVDP fanboy, a former roadie and current mountain biker whose strength in the road was a flat TT....well. It's certainly the purest test of who is the strongest. It's about the least test of "pure bike racer" in my view, but that's all semantics and subjective opinion.
For me bike racing is tactics, power, endurance, and bike handling of a high order. TT is just get in that tuck and suffer. It might be the hardest discipline, but it feels the least like racing...to me.
