Thats the problem.
The guy with the better w/kg wins the Climbs, where Wheel sucking is least effective. Then the aero guy hits the flat, and needs either a Sharp hill or a sprint effort to drop the climber guy. Then you need to keep the hammer Down to prevent bridging. I managed it once on a glorious 800m descent over 28km, singlespeed, with a broken rear mech. I've never managed it since.
