Super interesting results we get tonight from iTT. Take a rough look over the table and compare absolute watts with finishing times. Just like in real life. On a flat course, weight does not matter as much as raw power does. Heavier riders can be very competitive on flats in RGT. A complete oposite from what we saw in stage 1 with that steep final 10% climb.

Interesting stage in terms of comparing speed of very different riders. All the charts has added special ISO speed curve, which is reflection of IRL calculations for pan flat road (0% incline), without any wind, regular road bike and in aero hands on drops position.
Please, inclusion of this curve is only for observational purposes. Do not make to quick conclusions, since we are observing only Peak20min power, while actual duration for whole iTT was between 40-50min. Also, the course wasn’t pan flat, but with two short climbs at the begining and in overall slightly positively inclined at 0.53%.
However, the correlation between that ISO speed curve and actual race results in RGT is still very high!
Take a look at fascinating difference between 3rd and 4th placed riders. There is 30kg difference between them and huge, realy huge diferewnce in w/kg outputs (4.4 vs. 5.7wkg) and yet the 3rd was half a minute faster with 414w vs. 376w.
