weather helped him a lot today. Looked pretty dry by his finish.... but contenders going slow on downhill made a big difference to how much time they could take. The uphill also limited the length of the course they could put time on him. He lost about 1 minute in the 18k from the top of the hill to the finish. Its not so superhuman of him.
edit: last 16k after the flats, but he only lost 5 seconds to evans in those 16k... which didn't seem technical at all... so much more impressive than most would expect.
