Oh whoops. Didn’t realize there were multiple. This one was Remi Cavagna’s descent in stage 3. There was a lot of debate as to whether his descending was just utter garbage or if his brakes were failing on him. His time is still in the top 3% on strava, but he had both lanes to work with, which is a huge advantage, of course. The reason that descent is tough is because it’s steep (10%), rough, blind and sweeping. There’s no good braking points because as soon as you’re out of one turn, you’re in the next. That’s why it’s so challenging for brakes.
