    Think they're working OK together. This 10km flat is where they need to make the catch

    This flat section isn't flat, is it? Must be agony.

    From what little pro racing I've watched since getting into hill climbing (plus cycling for fitness) myself since '17 and trying to find/create all the Strava categorised hills between Winchester and South Harting (ish), I hate the pro race "artistic license" to their hill classifications, rather than a more scientific methodology to climb category allocation similar to that used by Strava.


    For example, a Strava cat 4 is approx 263-524 feet climbing at at average of 3%+ gradient.

    TBH when you see JA in his hyperactive state, constantly fidgeting, tightening this, on the radio that, you know he's in good shape.

    Wonder if JA will celebrate with a few drinks tonight? 😈

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
