Solve a riddle for me:
Tour 2016 Stage 13 hilly 40k ITT: 0 Froome, +2:05 Quintana
Tour 2016 Stage 18 uphill 20k ITT: 0 Froome, +1:10 Quintana
Giro 2017 Stage 10 hilly 40k ITT: 0 Dumoulin, +2:07 Nibali, +2:53 Quintana
Giro 2017 Stage 21 flat 30k ITT: 0 Dumoulin, +0:54 Nibali, +1:24 Quintana
Vuelta 2017 Stage 16 flat 40k ITT: 0 Froome, +0:57 Nibali
It seems most noticeable in the Giro but why do riders that are more talented climbers than testers do so comparatively bad in the hilly time trials, and vice versa, comparatively good in the flat time trials? What is the missing predictive factor?
