Maybe on one of those straight 10% sections, with a tailwind. Like descending from South Lake after the finish of day 1 (so not officially part of the race). I've barely broken 50 mph in the EC during the race, and that's fully tucked in. There are people who pass me on the descent, but they're probably not 10 mph faster.
