Ammatti had it at 5.80 btw. You can really see these numbers ignore a lot of drafting from the groups as well as rider weight.

Still think it's somewhat misleading because many will not be aware how rider weight affects W/kg needed for a given climbing performance. Also if you standardise you have to say so and say what weight is used as a standard.If you want to measure the level of the performance, you should standardise weight.
Best Tour winners by gap to second since 1990:You could also measure the amount of time that the following riders are beaten by. Oh, wait...
ah yeah nibali... i remember that vs Peraud and PinotBest Tour winners by gap to second since 1990:
1. Ullrich 1997 9:09
(2.= Armstrong 1999 7:37)
2.= Nibali 2014 7:37
(4. Armstrong 2002 7:17)
(5. Armstrong 2001 6:44)
Nibali must have been really incredible in 2014! The point is that you can take the time gaps but you can‘t extrapolate that so you know how riders would have fared who weren‘t in the race.
Sure, Evenepoel wins by huge distances usually but you can‘t automatically say he would‘ve won LBL if Pogačar didn‘t crash.

Even this year, I've seen Gaviria climb a lot better than he has at this race...
Also helps that Menten and Gaviria dropped at the exact same moment, so those teams can help each other immediately.Well so they succeeded dropping basically all the sprinters, but Lotto and QS have nothing to do here other than bringing their sprinters back so they should come back.

Vernon isn't in that group. Movistar are being Movistar.Can't be just Lotto riding in the sprintersgroep lmao. Menten can't even win. Where is QS and Movistar.
