True, but then I'd need to examine average speeds to see if they slowed.
Also, some people slow more due to sleep deprivation so it's hard to say which is better/worse.In TCR I probably should've got better sleep in the middle of it so I could ride longer in Greece but who knows? Maybe I'd be just as fucked in Greece and further back because I slept more earlier? I don't know what impact sleep has vs. physical fatigue.
Do I ride conservatively (W) at the start and forgo sleep, ride harder at the start and forgo sleep or ride conservatively and sleep well, or harder and sleep well? Which is best? Personally, I don't know.

Take into account when you might be able to make the most of your advantage vs your competitors? So try and be freshest for long flat fast sections in your case?
I guess the flipside to that is, maybe you should be well slept for the climby bits so you can lose as little time as possible, when you know you'll be pretty good on the flat fast bits anyway.

Ah see riding fast and sleeping are different things.
One can do both. Which might be advisable!
