Positioning, keeping the teams together, explosive climbing, daredevil descending, and the insane physical abilities…

after some 170 miles of racing, between climbs the lead trio/Pogi were pushing out 470+w and then 5-8 min of 6-900w+ on the climbs - and the gaps would still come down on the flats because of the charging teams behind…

And guys that were on the deck with 30k to go were able to make it back, blow up the race and stand on the podium.

Incredible.
