I am not an expert in this specific subject, so I can't answer that question.
Yeah, that's for sure.
And then we came to a mountain time trial on day four, which I expected David Voting to kind of be destroying people.
But on the other hand, Royster and Van der Breggen exist.
And in hindsight, I look back to Van der Breggen in 2021, Giro, I think.
Was that not the time trial where she OTL'd people?
Smoking might be an understatement to what happened yesterday, because Anna van der Beekens' performance on that climb was off the charts.
Like, the watts were really impressive.
Yes, it's a mountain time trial, so they're going to overread a little bit compared to if you had that climb at the end of a mountain stage, for example.
But it's still super impressive.
And the time gap's even more impressive, maybe.
A minute four, a minute six, whatever, to Volring, and then a small gap to... No, Royster was second, and then Volring was third.
I agree, but I need to see it on Finestre as well.
Because that's where I'm like, okay, that's where the potential weakness lies with Wonder Dragon, that she does a fantastic DT.
Yes, I did not expect this time trial to be this explosive, to be clear.
From her, fantastic time trial, completely out of my expectation.
But her most recent weakness at that Vuelta was that brutal mountain stage on Angliru.
So that's why I'm like, yeah, got to see it first on the big ones in this race.
Oh, I'm terrified.
Multiple riders OTL'd.
