Hatta Dam is already the most iconic 200 m climb.
Do similar finishes even exist in pro-cycling?

Patrick's Hill in Cork (ireland).... 250m, sections of 25%... I remember Cav and a bunch of others having to walk up it. Lance pulling some serious faces too.
Not used these days though.
Wow Sam opened up quite a gap on Hatta Dam and Calem stayed with him and breezed past without seeming to break a sweat. Real strong stuff from both of them

I assumed DQ were one of the old school teams that measures output in sensations not watttsBennet's watts on Hatta Dam. 26 seconds @ 1060W

67kg (for 1m65) seems a lot for Ewan. That would mean he weighs more than Tim Wellens..
Last year's Tour de Suisse stage where Sagan barged through Degenkolb. Slightly shorter, but cobbled. But yeah, Hatta Dam stands out.

26 seconds at 1060W is absurdly strong. Just shows how good Caleb is on this finish.
It really is impressive especially after a not easy run-in. I continue to marvel at the kind of power these guys can put through the pedals. Velon is a great addition to the sport.
It's good but I wouldn't call it exactly 'absurdly strong' just based on the numbers... my best 25s power is 1000W and I'm an unremarkable amateur of Chris Horner's age... I know plenty of Cat 2-3 types in my neck of the woods that have way better numbers when fresh. In context of course it changes - doing this after a long stage with a hard ridden finale is what may make it stand out (real nice lead-out by De Buyst for Ewan btw).
Ridiculous bollard that took down the Ineos' Rodreguez
- where was the marshal's red flag when it was needed?
Lucky it wasn't Dawg.
Do you think they'll manage to turn the desert into savannah?
The transformation goes well, for now, it appears. Wonder how far they'll push it... ploughland must be too far. That would be a recession.
