Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Lance was...Lemond was...Indurain was... there is that bike thing to haul around.

Your math doesn't add up to a similar climb as the OP's. 18.5 KPH for 12m 30s is only 3.85 Km.
